in reply to LWP Error '500 Can't connect to <uri>:443 Network is unreachable

I tried to duplicate the error using ActiveState Perl and making the following change: my $response = $ua->get('http://python.org/downloads'); to my $response = $ua->get('https://python.org/downloads'); This seems to work.
