in reply to lib::http - Using virtually a Perl library from the Internet with the HTTP protocol.
The problem with doing this is that now all somebody has to do to comprimise the system of everybody running this with the defaults is to break in to the sourceforge account, or otherwise modifiy the files there. Even worse, since you used a domain name, it's possible to use DNS posining to fake things, and point at another server completely.
It'd be nice if this did https, and had a parameter for easy checking of the server's Client-SSL-Cert-Subject and Client-SSL-Warning psuedoheaders.
Oh, and nitpick: "fisically" referrers to financials, "physically" is the opposite of "virtually".
