in thread Net_SSLeay help?

Clearly I don't understand how Net_SSLeay works. I know that LWP::UserAgent requires cookies to be set, and I would have used the LWP library had it worked properly with https, but it doesn't. So I resorted to using Net_SSLeay (Crypt also gave me some problems).

So, with that in the open, are you saying that I can still use the LWP cookies with Net_SSLeay?

    The following is an example of some code that uses LWP to post some data to an HTTPS login page and collect the cookies in a temporary HTTP::Cookie jar. You can persist the cookies for future use by giving the cookie jar a file to use.

    You will need to change the $loginFormUrl and form data in order to get this to work with your login page.

    Inman

    #! /usr/bin/perl -w
    
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    
    use LWP::UserAgent;
    use HTTP::Cookies;
    use HTTP::Request;
    use IO::Socket::SSL;
    
    my $loginFormUrl = "https://webbroker33w.tdwaterhouse.ca/LogOn";
    
    # Join the list of name=value pairs that you get from your login page
    my $postContent = join "&", qw (
    userid=myUser
    passwd=myPassword
    );
    
    # Create User Agent
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
    
    # Set up the cookie jar to use the file 'cookies.txt'
    $ua->cookie_jar (HTTP::Cookies->new ());
    push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';
    
    my $req = HTTP::Request->new("POST", $loginFormUrl );
    $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    $req->content($postContent);
    
    # Send the request to the server
    my $resp = $ua->request( $req );
    
    if ( $resp->is_error() ) {
    	print "warning Error requesting URL ->" . $resp->message();}
    else{
    	print $resp->headers_as_string . "\n";}
