The extended description contains:
Applications that need https support can just declare their
dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer need to know what
underlying modules to install.
"HTTPS" stands for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure" and should
be uppercase.
Yes, but there is no 'https' in the description but
'LWP::Protocol::https' - and that's the name of the module.

Short description:
***https*** driver for LWP::UserAgent
Extended description:
The LWP::Protocol::https module provide support for using https schemed URLs
with LWP. LWP::Protocol::https is a plug-in to the LWP protocol handling, so
you don't use it directly. Once the module is installed LWP is able to
access
sites using HTTP over SSL/TLS.
If hostname verification is requested by LWP::UserAgent's ssl_opts, and
neither SSL_ca_file nor SSL_ca_path is set, then SSL_ca_file is implied
to be
the one provided by ca-certificates.
This module used to be bundled with the libwww-perl, but it was unbundled in
v6.02 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly for the CPAN
tool-chain. Applications that need ***https*** support can just declare
their
dependency on LWP::Protocol::https and will no longer need to know what
underlying modules to install.
