# POE::Component::Client::SSL(3pm)

non-blocking SSL file handles

## NAME

POE::Component::Client::HTTP::SSL - non-blocking SSL file handles

## SYNOPSIS

```
  See Net::SSLeay::Handle
```

## DESCRIPTION

This is a temporary subclass of Net::SSLeay::Handle with what I consider proper *read()* and *sysread()* semantics.  This module will go away if or when Net::SSLeay::Handle adopts these semantics.

POE::Component::Client::HTTP::SSL functions identically to Net::SSLeay::Handle, but the READ function does not block until LENGTH bytes are read.

## SEE ALSO

Net::SSLeay::Handle

## BUGS

None known.
