I was trying to use POST method(form submission of username/password) on a 'https' authentication URL, and I get Error Occurred,500 unexpected EOF before status line seen.

When I enter wrong username/password, it comes up with the page saying "you entered wrong username/password". When the username/password are correct I get the error...

From the browser it works fine..

I have Crypt & OpenSSL installed in my machine and I put cookie jar & time out as well in my code.

Following are the things I get when I use LWP::Debug '+'
=========================================
