NAME

       Net::INET6Glue - Make common modules IPv6 ready by hotpatching

SYNOPSIS

	use Net::INET6Glue; # include all glue
	use LWP;
	use Net::SMTP;
	use Net::FTP;
	..

DESCRIPTION

       Net::INET6Glue is a collection of modules to make common modules IPv6 ready by hotpatching them.

       Unfortunatly the current state of IPv6 support in perl is that no IPv6 support is in the core and that a lot of important modules (like
       Net::FTP, Net::SMTP, LWP,...) do not support IPv6 even if the modules for IPv6 sockets Socket6, IO::Socket::INET6 are available.

       This module tries to mitigate this by hotpatching.  Currently the following submodules are available:

       Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6
	   Makes IO::Socket::INET behave like IO::Socket::INET6, especially make it capable to create IPv6 sockets. This makes LWP, Net::SMTP and
	   others IPv6 capable.

       Net::INET6Glue::FTP
	   Hotpatches Net::FTP to support EPRT and EPSV commands which are needed to deal with FTP over IPv6. Also loads
	   Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6.

NAME

       Net::SSLGlue::LWP - proper certificate checking for https in LWP

SYNOPSIS

	       use Net::SSLGlue::LWP SSL_ca_path => ...;
	       use LWP::Simple;
	       get( 'https://www....' );

	       {
		       local %Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts = %Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts;

		       # switch off verification
		       $Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts{SSL_verify_mode} = 0;

		       # or: set different verification policy, because cert does
		       # not conform to RFC (wildcards in CN are not allowed for https,
		       # but some servers do it anyway)
		       $Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts{SSL_verifycn_scheme} = {
			       wildcards_in_cn => 'anywhere',
			       check_cn => 'always',
		       };
	       }

DESCRIPTION

       Net::SSLGlue::LWP modifies Net::HTTPS and LWP::Protocol::https so that Net::HTTPS is forced to use IO::Socket::SSL instead of
       Crypt::SSLeay, and that LWP::Protocol::https does proper certificate checking using the "http" SSL_verify_scheme from IO::Socket::SSL.

       Because LWP does not have a mechanism to forward arbitrary parameters for the construction of the underlying socket these parameters can be
       set globally when including the package, or with local settings of the %Net::SSLGlue::LWP::SSLopts variable.

       All of the "SSL_*" parameter from IO::Socket::SSL can be used; the following parameters are especially useful:

       SSL_ca_path, SSL_ca_file
	   Specifies the path or a file where the CAs used for checking the certificates are located. This is typically "etc/ssl/certs" on UNIX
	   systems.

       SSL_verify_mode
	   If set to 0, verification of the certificate will be disabled. By default it is set to 1 which means that the peer certificate is
	   checked.

       SSL_verifycn_name
	   Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used to verify the identity of the certificate. If you want to check the
	   certificate against another name you can specify it with this parameter.
