HTTP::Daemon::SSL

Howdy,

I'm the maintainer of HTTP::Daemon::SSL, and I've received a few
requests for it to be included in the libwww-perl bundle. The module
implements a basic HTTPS server class inheriting most methods from
HTTP::Daemon, so that seems like a reasonable place to put it. On the
other hand, it's dependent on IO::Socket::SSL and therefore on a whole
host of other things that don't naturally belong in libwww-perl (like
Net::SSLeay), so it could only be used if those modules were already
installed on the system. Crypt::SSLeay doesn't have the features to
support this kind of thing (the accept() sub in Net::SSL is currently
'die "NYI";'), so there's no easy way to use that instead.

Should it be part of libwww-perl, or should it not?

Thanks,

Peter

P.S. I'm off-list, so please CC me in replies.
