... but cannot find anyone else complaining
Oh they're complaining all right - you just can't hear their muffled screams:)

I have a squid proxy, where CONNECT is enabled for authorized entities. The following maneuver works through this proxy... tell me if it works for you (one thing, you have no port specified for the proxy, this might matter):


my $finaldata;
my @protocols = qw(http https ftp);
my $query_url = 'https://www.etrade.com/';
my $ua       = LWP::UserAgent->new( agent => 'yourstring');
      $ua->protocols_allowed( \@protocols );
      $ua->proxy('http://1.2.3.4:3128/');

my $response = $ua->get("$query_url",
                ':content_cb' => \&stitch,
               );

sub stitch {
   my($data, $response, $protocol) = @_;
   print $data;
   return $finaldata .= $data;
}

I am not a big fan of the LWP documentation.. it's not too clear in places ..
