See `examples' subdirectory for more examples.

Same interface as Net::HTTPS but it will never try multiple reads when the read_response_headers() or read_entity_body() methods are invoked. In addition allows non-blocking connect.

Imported by default

        HTTPS_WANT_READ
        HTTPS_WANT_WRITE

Imported by default

        $HTTPS_ERROR

Same as Net::HTTPS::new, but in addition allows `Blocking' parameter. By setting this parameter to 0 you can perform non-blocking connect. See connected() to determine when connection completed.

connected()

Returns true value when connection completed (https handshake done). Otherwise returns false. In this case you can check $HTTPS_ERROR to determine what handshake need for, read or write. $HTTPS_ERROR could be HTTPS_WANT_READ or HTTPS_WANT_WRITE respectively. See "SYNOPSIS".

As opposed to Net::HTTPS where blocking method consciously broken you can set socket blocking. For example you can return socket to blocking state after non-blocking connect.
