Update

**************

I don't the underlying cause. I fixed the issue on my program by using REST::Client instead of LWP::UserAgent....details of the code are in one of my reply below

***************

My Get request is timing out after processing 20 or 30 request...I have over 500 records to process. I did confirm that there is no limit on number of GET requested placed to API. I also tried using chrom extension postman to repeatably place GET request successfully. Yet when I place GET request though my perl program it failed after processing few requests. Any help is greatly appreciated

error says following:

500 can't connect to api.xxx.com:443. (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a periold of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

LWP::Protoclo::https::Socket: connect: a connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond at C:/Dwimperl/perl/site/LWP/Protocol/http.pm" 

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( ssl_opts => { verify_hostname => 0 }, );
$ua->timeout('1000'); 

sub getUserInfo {
  my($userId) = @_;
my $partnerId = 'B53765B23456678C1'
 my $userURI = 'https://xxx.com/api/m1/request/'. $partnerId. '/users/
+'. $userId;   
 print $userURI, "\n";
 #sleep (3);    
 my $userResponse = $ua -> request(GET($userURI, Authorization => $aut
+hHeaders)); # I am getting a token which is passed in the header.
   if ($userResponse->is_success) {
      my $userRecord =  decode_json($userResponse->content); 
      print $userResponse->status_line, "\n";
      return ($userRecord);
        }
     else {
    displayMsg ( "No user Records to process....................");
    print $userResponse->status_line, "\n";
    print $userResponse->decoded_content, "\n";
    error ("Error: ", $userResponse->status_line, " " , $userResponse-
+>decoded_content);
    exit 1;
    }     
      }
