NetWallah, here is the code with your suggestion as listed:

 use strict;
 use warnings;
 use LWP::UserAgent;
 use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET);
 
 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 my $endpoint = 'Http://www.somecompany.com:8081/api/ourCompany/getASN
+';
 my $req = HTTP::Request->new('GET',
                              'Accept' => 'application/xml');
 $req->url($endpoint);
 my $resp = $ua->request($req);
 my $message = $resp->content;
 print "printing message: $message\n\n";
[download]

I get the error message "bad header argument at code.pl line 8." Which is the HTTP::Request->new line.

Here is the working code with the slight modifications:

 use strict;
 use warnings;
 use LWP::UserAgent;
 use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET);
 use XML::Simple;
 
 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 my $endpoint = 'Http://www.somecompany.com:8081/api/ourCompany/getASN
+';
 my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $endpoint);
 $req->header(Accept => 'application/xml');
 $req->url($endpoint);
 my $resp = $ua->request($req);
 my $message = $resp->content;
 print "printing message: $message\n\n";

Thanks,
