Hello,

I'm writing a client on top of an API that uses Crypt::SSLeay to connect to a https site. Could you please give some clarification on what this error message means, and further, what typically causes this? I looked through your perldoc and did not see it documented.

Thank you for your time and assistance, -Jiman

Yes, it means that you have to explicitly tell LWP::UserAgent not to verify hostnames (if you need verification, you should use IO::Socket::SSL for now).

my $ua  = LWP::UserAgent->new(
    ssl_opts => { verify_hostname => 0 },
);
