Can LWP::Simple HEAD https?

Hi,

I've written a script to do a ping or HEAD reqeusts on our servers and to
bark if the servers don't respond.  We need to check several HTTPS servers,
but I'm having problems geting the HTTPS head to work using LWP::Simple.  I
haven't found any references to https, either.

Is it that Simple won't do https?  If this is the case, will the UserAgent
module do it?

Thanks!
