NAME¶
Net::connect - Connect to a server
SYNOPSIS¶
NetHandle connect( Protocol proto, String server, Int port, Bool
usetls=false, [String] certfiles=[] )
ARGUMENTS¶
proto The network protocol to use
server The hostname or IP address of the server to connect to (e.g.
service.example.com ,
localhost or
192.168.20.25 )
port The network port to connect to
usetls If this is true, and the TLS library is available, then the
connection will be encrypted. This parameter may be omitted and defaults to
false.
certs An optional list of certificate files for TLS encrypted
connections. Each file should contain one or more PEM-encoded certificates for
a trusted certification authority. If this list is empty (the default), no
certificate verification will be performed on encrypted connections, which is
insecure.
