I'd argue that either server's SSL setup is broken, or that you need a trust client certificate. Perl won't help you here.

Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed

But why it's working in the browser? How I can tell LWP to ignore this error?	[reply]

Yet another broken SSL server which cannot do TLS1.0 or better. Browsers work around this kind of error by retrying with a downgraded SSL version. Recent versions of LWP (base of WWW::Mechanize) use IO::Socket::SSL/Net::SSLeay by default and you can simply enforce a specific SSL version like this: `$mech->ssl_opts( SSL_version => 'SSLv3');` [download] I've tested it and it works with this broken server.

Brilliant!!! Thank you! But I still don't understand why `$ENV{ HTTPS_VERSION }= 3` is not work but `SSL_version => 'SSLv3'` works...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I see this Python solution: SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1112). Is there any way I can make same for Perl?	[reply]

I tried `$ENV{HTTPS_VERSION} = 3;` because `curl -3 $URL` is working but my Perl code still return same error :-(	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you want to set up the environment, either do so outside your script, or at least, before the SSL modules are loaded: `BEGIN { $ENV{ HTTPS_VERSION }= 3; }; use WWW::Mechanize;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
Re^4: LWP and HTTPS by Gangabass (Vicar) on Apr 27, 2014 at 01:14 UTC
This will not work because `$ENV{ HTTPS_VERSION }= 3;` is the default value :-(	[reply] [d/l]
