Can you give this a try (after adjusting for your environment) and see if you still get the 500 error?

I added the cookie jar (relavant code below)
(I didn't spot any other functional difference)

Same Result :{

So, it looks like I'll have to dispense with the


$response = $ua->request($request);
[download]

and replace it with low level code - merde! ;)



use AppConfig;
use File::Basename;
use Getopt::Long;
use HTML::Form;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::DebugFile ('+');
use LWP::UserAgent;
use Pod::Usage;
use URI::file;
.
.
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(file => '/tmp/cookie_jar', AutoSav
+e => 1);
my $ua;
.
.
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->agent('Mozilla/4.0');
$ua->max_size('5000');
$ua->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
.
.
$ua->credentials($netloc, $realm, $userid, $passwd);
.
.
$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://192.168.1.1/Status.htm");

$response = $ua->request($request);
#$response = $ua->request($request,"rspfile.html");

if ($response->is_error) {
        my $string;

        print "Error: " . $response->status_line . "\n";
        print $response->error_as_HTML;

        $string = $response->as_string;
        die "$string\n";
    }

So, Shall I dispense with the UserAgent Request and run it through lower level code? >:-{ (Defeating the purpose of UserAgent) (Not a satisfactory solution)

OR

Use the filename method and use a 'length of file (= length of response)' test before assuming that UserAgent error response is valid (i.e. rebuild the response->content from the collected file copy if response is not 'too short'? (A workable patch - maybe)

OR

Get LinkSys to check their disconnect logic? (Not likely)

Start debugging lower layers? (Well, that's the same as the first idea (Not a satisfactory solution - and no guarantee of success.

Guess I'll put in a response (in file) length test to validate UserAgent error - bleearghr ;)

Unless someone can help me with the lower level stuff.

{"Why don't you do it in Perl?" - Well, one has to start somewhere! ;))) }
