NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::LWP - Plugin for fetching files using LWP

VERSION

version 2.48

SYNOPSIS

 use alienfile;
 share {
   start_url 'http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make';
   plugin 'Fetch::LWP';
 };

DESCRIPTION

Note: in most case you will want to use Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate instead. It picks the appropriate fetch plugin based on your platform and environment. In some cases you may need to use this plugin directly instead.

This fetch plugin fetches files and directory listings via the "http" "https", "ftp", "file" protocol using LWP. If the URL specified uses the "https" scheme, then the required SSL modules will automatically be injected as requirements. If your initial URL is not "https", but you know that it will be needed on a subsequent request you can use the ssl property below.

PROPERTIES

url

The initial URL to fetch. This may be a directory listing (in HTML) or the final file.

ssl

If set to true, then the SSL modules required to make an "https" connection will be added as prerequisites.
