and waits forever


Previously F17 did work OK, F18 did not work.
Recent update to F17 made https  also non-working for some sites.
Now both F17 & F18 fail to https for some sites
Comment 1 Need Real Name 2013-02-15 18:08:45 UTC 
Note that downgrade to perl-Net-HTTP-6.02-2.fc17.noarch.rpm

seems fixed the issue

rpm -Uvh --force http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora//releases/17/Fedora/x86_64/os/Packages/p/perl-Net-HTTP-6.02-2.fc17.noarch.rpm

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2013-02-15 18:15:02 UTC 
Confirmed that the downgrade to 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora//releases/17/Fedora/source/SRPMS/p/perl-Net-HTTP-6.02-2.fc17.src.rpm
fixed the issue both on F17 & F18
Comment 3 Need Real Name 2013-02-15 18:20:08 UTC 
Also confirmed, that 
perl-Net-HTTP-6.05 

may lock forever even on http sites
Comment 4 Need Real Name 2013-02-16 07:40:12 UTC 
Confirmed that 
perl-Net-HTTP.noarch                    6.05-1.fc17                    updates
is a problematic is a sense, it may hang forever and the request never returned, hanging in sleep or wait. (It consumes co CPU in this state).
The 
perl-Net-HTTP.noarch                    6.02-2.fc17                    installed
cures the problem both in F17 & F18

For some season the problem is most easily observed when using https.
Test code is attached in first post.
But the problem was observed also without https, via plain http.
In this case it is more difficult to reproduce it.
Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2013-02-18 09:07:37 UTC 
I was expected these problems. See bug #768394 for more details, especially comment #16 and #18. And also watch or linked CPAN reports. This is open issue with no good solution yet.
