Unfortunately, the IIS and Websphere servers are not mine. They belong to a remote client I'm attempting to connect to, and download datafiles from. I'm writing the client.

I have not been able to find a way using LWP to pass a low level call (for SSL_CTX_Set_Options()) down to Crypt, so thinking about just hacking the module itself to include it. As to what SSL values are allowed by the servers, I don't know since the client won't return my calls.

I have added code to my script $ENV{HTTPS_VERSION} = 3; to attempt to force HTTPS into version 3 (I've also tried version 2), but it has no affect. I've also began setting an allowed protocol list for the UA object, $ua->protocols_allowed( ['https'] ); just to be safe.

Thanks for the help, please let me know if/when you find anything. I'll update this node when I find anything.

P.S. - Currently, there are 17 files available for me to download from the remote server, I can download 15 files perfectly, but there are 2 files (always the same) that lock up like this. Also, I discovered yesterday that since I'm doing this on a Windows platform that is sans alarm(), then my timeout logic will never work! Nice! Trying to convince my boss to go to Linux.
