LWP::Protocol::https patch

Hey LWP maintainers,

I've heard that there's a patch out there for LWP::Protocol::https 
that adds a sub request {} method for proxy support with Crypt::SSLeay.  
However Crypt::SSLeay provides its own proxy support, enabled by
setting $ENV{HTTPS_PROXY}, which is compatible with 

  $ua->env_proxy() 

Supposedly this latest LWP::Protocol::https patch breaks against
the latest Crypt::SSLeay.  Note that the latest libwww-perl 5.50 release
does not have this request {} method defined, so should work fine.

Thanks,

Josh
