Re: Re: Re: Automate your PerlMonks activities

True, but the script needs to be told to use the proxy. For pm_login, add this line between lines 18 and 24:

$ua->proxy( 'http', $ENV{ HTTP_PROXY } ) if $ENV{ HTTP_PROXY };

I'm sure similar additions can be made to each script that needs it to add proxy functionality.

You're right of course, you do need to tell the UserAgent to use the proxy, but if you use the standard variable names (all lower case) then you simply say: `$ua->env_proxy;`	[reply] [d/l]

You shouldn't need to do this. The module automatically calls `$ua->env_proxy;` You should need merely to `export http_proxy=http://host:port` or `setenv http_proxy http://host:port` You might want to retrieve the latest version, too. It has some nice new features. jdporter ...porque es dificil estar guapo y blanco.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hmm. I will get the latest version. In the pre-first-tarball one I tried, the only way it'd work with the proxy was to add the line I mentioned to the cookie script and at least one other, though I can't remember what it was offhand.

The main module file now includes a CHANGE HISTORY section in pod. jdporter ...porque es dificil estar guapo y blanco.	[reply]
