It's my understanding that to do strict key verification and such, 
you'll need to write a package ala LWP::Protocol::https and then set it 
as the implementor

  LWP::Protocol::implementor('https', 'foo::bar');

That's just from my reading of the code/docs.  I haven't played with it 
yet, only determined that it appears to be the official mechanism.
