Author Streaming HTTPS client?

Hi, I've been using POE for several months now, finding it extremely
useful (perhaps needless to say).

So, now I'm looking to write an HTTPS client to connect to a streaming
stock-quote service. Is there any easy
way to do this which handles the SSL-layer stuff automatically so I only
have to see the POE-level I/O in my
script? I was looking for some way to integrate LWP's https
cababilities, but there doesn't seem to be anything
in the way of a public interface in LWP to facilitate that.

From browsing the docs on CPAN there doesn't seem to be an immediately
obvious solution.

Thanks,
-John

POE::Component::Client::HTTP does SSL and supports streaming input.

Ok ... I've got from CPAN it now, I guess I was only looking at the main
POE directory area.

Thanks!
