in reply to Re: LWP HTTPS POST returns 500 EOF
in thread LWP HTTPS POST returns 500 EOF

Hi dominix,
first of all, thank you for your response! I tried the requests_redirectable, but unfortunately it did not help.

I am able to connect with telnet login1.swipnet.se 443, but I do not know what to write once connected :-) Please enlight me how to perform trouble shooting with telnet.

I attach some more debug information that I am able to retreive when using cgi scripts and redirecting the LWP request and the IE request to the dumping cgi scripts. I used normal HTTP, since I can not get HTTPS working with my webserver (not put any effort on it)
Do you know any other way to retreive debug information, such as headers? I have in some posts seen more extensive information but I am not able to acquire it.
Best regards
/Johan

    the telnet example was to show that there were a connection problem. for me the server is (still) not responding, but anyway, if you want to test some connection over ssl you need no telnet but openssl and type something like :
    openssl s_client -connect login1.swipnet.se:443 
POST /login.php
username=xxxxxxxxxx;password=yyyyyy;

    note the CR/LF at the end.
    I recommend you read more about HTTP if you need to debug such transaction, the next step in debugging is to use a proxy that will do the encryption and you can sniff what happend between your client machine and the proxy , quite tricky anyway.

      I think that it is not accepted to connect to the server from outside of the local network, probably a security issue.
      Anyway, I am able to connect with openssl and the server responds with following:
      [johan@aca80065 ~]$ openssl s_client -connect login1.swipnet.se:443

      My problem (quite embarrassing) is the same as when I tried to use lwp-request. When the server asks for content and I enter it, I am unable to finish (send) the content(username and password). I have pressed Enter after the input line.

      Best regards
