Hi TCM I am also facing the same issue my code is the below one I am getting authentication failed.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;

my $user="";
my $pass="";
my $url="http://news.bankofamerica.com/EOS/EosDispatcher";

# define user agent
my $ua=LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->agent("USER/AGENT/IDENTIFICATION");

# make request
my $request=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>$url) or die "request failed : $!"
+;

# authenticate
$request->authorization_basic($user,$pass") or die "Authorisation fail
+ed : $!";

# expect response

my $response= $ua->request($request);

print $response->content();
