I have noticed on many hosts, the SSL interface for LWP does not seem to be properly installed. I get an error when trying to get data from an HTTPS site.
For example, if you I type this:
perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "https://www.uic.edu"'

I get the following error:
501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported

Is it normal for hosts to disable this? I dont see why?
