Net::HTTPS::NB provides same interface as Net::HTTPS but it will never try multiple reads when the read_response_headers() or read_entity_body() methods are invoked. In addition allows non-blocking connect. If read_response_headers() did not see enough data to complete the headers an empty list is returned. If read_entity_body() did not see new entity data in its read the value -1 is returned. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/Net-HTTPS-NB
