Hi Monks, This is my first question. I am long time listener of this group and monks are doing great job in supporting community. Ok here it is:
proxy program:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use HTTP::Proxy;
use HTTP::Recorder;

my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new();
#$proxy->host("my host name");
    #I tried this with and without above line
    # create a new HTTP::Recorder object
    my $agent = new HTTP::Recorder ( file => "myfilezzz" )
                  or die;
    #$agent->proxy('http', "real-proxy");
    #I tried with and without above line
     
    # set HTTP::Recorder as the agent for the proxy
    $proxy->agent( $agent );

    # start the proxy
    $proxy->start();
    1;

I run above program in separate window, then I set proxy in browser (IE) and every thing works ( It creates myfilezzz file with contents $agent->get("http://myhost/myapp/"); ) except, I can't access any page(It says page not found or gives dns error). Looks like if we don't point browser to real-proxy it can't fetch page.
Am I missing something?

thanks Vinay
