hi,

I'm trying to login to a this site, which uses https. Problem is, I get an internal server error. Here's my code:

#! c:\perl\bin -w

use strict;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);
use LWP::Protocol::https;
use crypt::SSLeay;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => 'cookie_jar', autosave =>1)
+);

# configure LWP::UserAgent to follow redirects after POST
push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

my $request=$ua->request(POST "http://www.saxobank.com/",
             {
               username =>'me',
               userpass =>'secret',
               submit             =>'Submit'
             });

print $request->is_success ? $request->content : "failed\n";

The output from LWP::Debug is:

LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header: Checking www.saxobank.com for cookie
+s
HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header: Checking .saxobank.com for cookies

HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header: Checking .com for cookies
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: POST http://www.saxobank.com/
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Internal Server Error

Any ideas?

Update:Using the above code with the URL https://www.saxobank.com/Default.aspx?ID=867 gives the response:

Which leads me to believe (because two requests were sent, with only the second one being unsuccessful) that a redirection is supposed to occur, but which LWP does not follow, despite the line specifically instructing it to do so. No solution as yet...
