Re^5: Install LWP::Protocol::https

[Anonymous Monk]

I believe that OpenSSL is installed on Cygwin by default:

Um, so when you use Windows+F "file finder" to search your cygwin directory, where do you find ssl.h?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

forget about this, its got nothing to do with missing headers

[edheim]

Sorry for not being clear: I didn't have the ssl.h header file. I found that I had to re-install Cygwin with the "OpenSSL development environment". I now find the header file at

./usr/include/openssl/ssl.h

Are there any environment variables that I need to setup?

Thanks, Edward

Probably not necessary, they're probably installed in the standard location

OTOH in case they aren't, see Re^2: Fuse and fuse_loop, Re: Error trying to install Image::Magick on Strawberry Perl, Re^3: DBD::mysql fail install check, Re^4: Cron revisited, Re^7: Installing Glib on Debian, C_INCLUDE_PATH/LIBRARY_PATH...

Installing Crypt::SSLeay still fails so started installing prerequisites individually. Installed:

IO::Socket::SSL, Net::SSLeay, Mozilla::CA

Then went back to Crypt::SSLeay

Heim@Heim-PC ~/.cpan/build/Crypt-SSLeay-0.64-4GqoXH
$ perl Makefile.PL

Went back to installing prerequisite LWP::Protocol::https. The steps:

perl Makefile.PL
make

seemed to be okay but testing gave the following result:

Heim@Heim-PC ~/.cpan/build/LWP-Protocol-https-6.03-szsMUU
$ make test

Disabling my firewall made no difference. Any feedback appreciated on steps to take next.

The one test file seems to access"https://www.apache.org" but since I'm trying to install LWP::Protocol::https, how does the test work? :

$ cat apache.t
#!perl -w

use strict;
use Test::More;

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
plan skip_all => "Not online" unless $ua->is_online;

plan tests => 2;
my $res = $ua->simple_request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => "https://www.a
+pache.org"));

ok($res->is_success);
like($res->content, qr/Apache Software Foundation/);

$res->dump(prefix => "# ");
