Re: LWP https proxy trouble

I just uploaded the LWP::Protocol::connect module to CPAN. This module adds the missing HTTP/CONNECT method support to LWP.

use LWP::UserAgent;

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); 
$ua->proxy('https', 'connect://proxyhost.domain:3128/');

$ua->get('https://www.somesslsite.com');
[download]

With this module you can use the regular IO::Socket::SSL implementation for LWP >=6.00.
