** Description changed:

  www::mechanize doesn't allow you to connect to some websites over ssl,
- if they are in the xhtml 1.1 markup. I have attached a script
- demonstrating this. I am running quantal, and noticed my script started
- failing after upgrading the libio-socket-ssl-perl package. Downgrading
- the package from 1.74 to the precise version of 1.53 fixes the issue and
- the attached script runs.
+ if they are in the xhtml 1.1 markup. Instead, it simply times out. I
+ have attached a script demonstrating this. I am running quantal, and
+ noticed my script started timing out and failing to connect after

+ properly.
  
  Here's the link to 1.53
  http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.53-1_all.deb
  
  and 1.74
  http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu//pool/main/libi/libio-socket-ssl-perl/libio-socket-ssl-perl_1.74-1_all.deb
  
  You should be able to reproduce this on any debian based system (I
  think).
