Bug#434393: O: libwhisker-perl: Perl module geared for HTTP testing

[Thomas Seyrat <thomas@glou.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

  I'm orphaning the libwhisker-perl package. I packaged it because nikto
  which I also packaged needed it. I don't maintain nikto anymore. If
  you want to package this library, please consider adopting nikto as
  well.

 libwhisker-perl is a Perl module written by rain forest puppy to
 implement fast and small replacements to the usual HTTP testing
 functions, as available in LWP, URI, HTML::Parser, MIME::Base64,
 etc., that are also present in whisker.
 .
 libwhisker :
  * can communicate over HTTP 0.9, 1.0, and 1.1
  * uses persistent connections (keep-alives)
  * has proxy support
  * has SSL support (through libnet-ssleay-perl)
  * can handle chunked encoding
