Re^2: Expect receives no output, when requested via HTML

Thanks for your reply! I think i understand the issue now. When there is no terminal, there can't be any interaction. Unfortunately i can not establish a passwordless connection (for reasons i would like to ommit). I will test as you advised. I just wonder, even if i connect with a key, will i be able to retrieve the devices response without any terminal? Is there another library for perl, that works without a terminal?

Friendly Regards,

Phil

Personally, for interactive stuff, I would look at Net::SSH::Any or any of the modules that Net::SSH::Any uses. There you can conveniently send commands/input over a channel without needing Expect at all. Alternatively, you could look at IPC::Run for opening a child process (in your case, the `ssh` connection) for reading and writing, but this goes close to reimplementing Expect yourself and won't solve the password issue.
