Re^2: CGI::Carp fatalsToFile

Since it's not https-related, you're probably back to wanting a fatalsToFile equivalent

It turns out that it is https-related...

There were two red herrings.
Firstly the .htaccess uses a 301 redirect that was being cached and also the getstore method of LWP::Simple is not doing what I expected.

my $availability;
my $response = LWP::Simple::getstore("http://$ENV{'HTTP_HOST'}/cgi-bin
+/booking.pl?command=check&st=$data{'st'}&ed=$data{'ed'}&force=$data{'
+force'}", $availability);
print "->$availability<-\n";
print "$response\n";
[download]

Shows $availability as empty even though the server is responding with 200 code.

So, now I know that it is an HTTPS issue, I need to find a way to fix it...

Are you sure you're using `getstore` correctly? Per the LWP::Simple docs: *getstore* `my $code = getstore($url, $file)` Gets a document identified by a URL and stores it in the file. The return value is the HTTP response code. getstore desires a URL and a filename. Your code snippet shows `$availability` as being undefined.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are you sure you're using `getstore` correctly? No - I had read it as storing the document in a variable, not a file...	[reply] [d/l]

per the example in the test suite, it's used as a file name: get.t#L62	[reply]
