--- Comment #2 from Denis Fateyev <denis(a)fateyev.com> ---
Right, technically "LWP::Protocol::https" in rhel6 doesn't support HTTPS by
default. In more details, "perl(LWP::Protocol::https)" in rhel6 is provided by
"perl-libwww-perl" which doesn't require SSL by itself.

--------------
A simple practical check:
# yum install 'perl(LWP::Protocol::https)'
...
Package perl-libwww-perl-5.833-2.el6.noarch already installed and latest
version
# perl -le 'use LWP::UserAgent; my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; my $request = new
HTTP::Request("GET", "https://bugzilla.redhat.com"); my $response =
$ua->request($request); print $response->content;'
LWP will support https URLs if either Crypt::SSLeay or IO::Socket::SSL
is installed. More information at
<
http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/README.SSL>.
P.S. In rhel7 and fedora it's different: perl(LWP::Protocol::https) is provided
by a separate package which requires IO::Socket::SSL.
