I have been able to get this script working perfect with one site I am trying to login and post to, but I get this error on this domain just with the login. What I see happening is the login is posting to a "http" page and then in process is being redirected to a "https" page. This is the error that I get:

501 (Not Implemented) Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported Client-

So, if the problem is the redirect to an https, how do I resolve that? Here is my script:

#!/usr/lib/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Simple;

#need to get sessionid so it is nice and new
my $page = get 'http://www.sitedomain.com/Login.jsp';
$page =~ /jid=(\w+)/;
my $jid = $1;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => 'cookie_jar', autosave =>1)
+);

push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

my $request = $ua->request(POST "http://www.sitedomain.com/Login.jsp",
                            {
                             username => 'abc123',
                             password => '123abc',
                             'Submit' => 'Sign in',
                            });
                
print $request->is_success ? "worked\n" : "failed\n";
print $b = $request->as_string;
