Description TEJ RATHI 2023-08-02 10:20:32 UTC
HTTP::Tiny v0.082, is a http client included in Perl (since v5.13.9) and also a standalone CPAN module. It does not verify TLS certificates by default requiring users to opt-in with the verify_SSL=>1 flag to verify the identity of the HTTPS server they are communicating with.
