Bug 1297527

Question.

 32 Requires:       perl(LWP::Protocol::https)
 33 # perl-libwww-perl in el6 haven't got ssl support by default
 34 %{?el6:Requires: perl(Crypt::SSLeay)}

Does this mean that, in EPEL6, HTTPS doesn't work with LWP::Protocol::https?

Right, technically "LWP::Protocol::https" in rhel6 doesn't support HTTPS by default. In more details, "perl(LWP::Protocol::https)" in rhel6 is provided by "perl-libwww-perl" which doesn't require SSL by itself.

--------------
A simple practical check:

# yum install 'perl(LWP::Protocol::https)'
...
Package perl-libwww-perl-5.833-2.el6.noarch already installed and latest version

# perl -le 'use LWP::UserAgent; my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; my $request = new HTTP::Request("GET", "https://bugzilla.redhat.com"); my $response = $ua->request($request); print $response->content;'
LWP will support https URLs if either Crypt::SSLeay or IO::Socket::SSL
is installed. More information at
<http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/README.SSL>.

P.S. In rhel7 and fedora it's different: perl(LWP::Protocol::https) is provided by a separate package which requires IO::Socket::SSL.

Hrm, okay.  perl-libwww-perl's packaging in EL6 could be improved, it seems.

Anyhow, the package is mostly fine.  Just...

* You could add the version constraint to that EL6 runtime dependency on
  Crypt::SSLeay.

* Require version constrained LWP::UserAgent and URI::Escape + filter out
  the autogenerated underspecified dependencies.

And that's it :)

It would be good, but I doubt they would do it now with rhel6.
