Re^2: 400 URL must be absolute

Thanks a lot, it helps me with the "400 URL must be absolute" error. I'm not a programmer, let alone a "PerlMonk". I have to get my knowledge from what I can find on the internet and that is not always clear.

But... now i get a "401 Unauthorized" error. Because I know now the URL must be OK and the user and password are OK, the problem must be the realm (?). I got the in de sub given realm with the script:

lwp-request -e http://88.159.57.235/roots/lines/wielinga/wie-aaa/wie-s
+le/wie-hee/wie-bru/pien.htm

with the response:

Is there an other way to get the right realm?

Your code in the original post say real='Privacy Guard', but the lwp-request headers ask for realm='Maintenance Guard'. So the correct realm on your code would be 'Maintenance Guard', i guess. Also make sure you get upper/lowercase of all authentication fields correct (username, password, realm). I can't really test your setup. For that, i would need username+password, but i will never ask for that unless you are a paying customer of my employer due to all sorts of legal and insurance reasons. So do not post the authentication data. The only thing i can advise you to do is to check if your authentication data is correct by using your browser to log in. `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]

You have been using `http` instead of `https` throughout so nothing is safe. 🦛	[reply] [d/l] [select]

use the URI instead of the URL Recommended reading: The Difference Between a URL, URI, and a URN Every URL is an URI, but not every URI is an URL. URLs can have a userinfo part, but nowadays that is considered insecure (especially if a password is included) and rarely used anymore.	[reply]
