Sascha2018 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello. I have a IO::Socket::SSL programmed Perl Script. If i connect with a client: 
my $client = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>'host',PeerPort=>'port',P
+roto=>'tcp');
IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL(options..);

.. the Server accepts the handshake and handles the messages. But.. if i want to open my website https://host:port/?action=show over HTTPS the server does not get a GET /? Request. Nothing is shown and i get a This site can’t be reached and ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE in the Browser. Why ? Perhaps you can help me in german language. If not, we can try to communicate in English language. Regards

    Maybe your browser has a proxy set or has other connectivity problems.

    Maybe your browser tries to connect over IPv6 while Perl successfully connects via IPv4 or the other way around.

    Maybe find out what IP addresses get returned for the hostname. Maybe giving your browser an explicit IP address helps debug this better.

      It had to do with a firewall xD Thanks

      Hello. Has nobody an idea ? Thank you
[reply]

        You're replying to me. I have very little SSL experience.

        My immediate idea would be that you don't have the https:// at the front of your URL in your browser. Does fetching data using curl work or does it fail in the same way?
