Description Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2011-06-05 18:07:37 CEST

LWP 6.02 no longer provides support for the https:// protocol, see http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GAAS/libwww-perl-6.02/Changes. The support for this protocol has been moved into a separate module named LWP::Protocol::https, see http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/LWP-Protocol-https-6.02/.

Mageia 1 doesn't include this Perl module, and so my scripts which point to a https:// URL all fail with the error:

501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed)

Please include it asap. :)

The package has been submitted to Cauldron, once backports are open for one I'll submit it there.

Could we get some traction here? Backports are open, and I really need to be able to access some websites via HTTPS.

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-06 04:13:15 CEST

Sorry, I forgot this one.

perl-LWP-Protocol-https should land in core/backports_testing soon, please test it.

Comment 4 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2011-07-06 15:18:42 CEST

Works fine. Thanks!

Comment 5 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-06 15:25:58 CEST

@sysadm, please move perl-LWP-Protocol-https from core/backports_testing to core/backports.

Comment 6 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2011-07-06 15:58:27 CEST

Ahmad, do I have to uninstall and then reinstall this RPM once it's in the core/backports directory?

Comment 7 Nicolas Vigier 2011-07-06 16:50:23 CEST

Should it go to updates, as this perl module was previously available on mandriva 2010.2 ?

Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-07 02:06:48 CEST

What was the package name on Mandriva?

[dave@drew643 ~]$ urpmq -i perl-LWP-Protocol-https
No package named perl-LWP-Protocol-https
[dave@drew643 ~]$ cat /etc/release
Mandriva Linux release 2010.2 (Official) for i586

Do you have a sample script to use for testing this module?

Good point, I agree.

Mandriva 2010.2 has LWP 5.834: perl-libwww-perl-5.834.0-1mdv2010.1.noarch.rpm.
In LWP 5.x, support for https:// was included by default in the libwww package. This support has been moved into a separate CPAN module starting with LWP 6.02. So Mandriva has no such package.

Comment 11 Nicolas Vigier 2011-07-07 12:43:58 CEST

Package submited to updates_testing repository.

Comment 12 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-08 01:46:05 CEST

Created attachment 640 [details]
Script used to test perl https access.

Script from http://www.perl.com/pub/2002/08/20/perlandlwp.html
that I used to test perl https access.

Testing complete in i586.

Package
perl-LWP-Protocol-https
srpm
perl-LWP-Protocol-https-6.20.0-0.1.mga1.src.rpm

Advisory
Add https support for perl.

When the core updates testing version has been tested on x86-64,
it should be moved to core updates.

Comment 13 Nicolas Vigier 2011-07-08 18:47:10 CEST

pushed to updates.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 14 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2011-07-28 00:08:20 CEST

Could perl-LWP-Protocol-https-6.20.0-0.1.mga1.noarch.rpm be pushed into core/backports/ for Mageia 1? It's in core/backports_testing/ for 3 weeks now.

Comment 15 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-28 04:11:26 CEST

perl-LWP-Protocol-https is in Core Updates, as it fit the exception for
packages that existed in Mandriva 2010.2, but were absent from Mageia 1.

The copy in Core Backports Testing should be deleted.

Comment 16 Dave Hodgins 2011-09-17 09:20:49 CEST

Ping sysadmin team.

Please delete perl-LWP-Protocol-https from Core Backports Testing.
