Walkthrough

The changes introduce enhancements to the cpanm and Menlo CLI tools, focusing on transitioning from HTTP to HTTPS for various URLs to improve security. A new command-line option --insecure allows users to bypass HTTPS when necessary. Additionally, configuration attributes have been updated to manage HTTP and HTTPS preferences, ensuring users can still operate in environments lacking TLS support.

Poem

🐇 In fields so bright, with hops and cheer,
I see the changes drawing near.
HTTPS shines, a safe embrace,
While --insecure finds its place.
With every leap, we’ll stay secure,
A bouncy world, we’ll all endure! 🌼

Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
