Hi, first question ever, hope it's OK:
I'm using the LWP::UserAgent perl module in order to retrieve web pages. The UserAgent uses redirection when it is needed. The command I write is:

 push @{$user_agent->requests_redirectable}, 'POST';

There is also a default value which I think works only for GET. This works nicely most of the time, but recently I have been starting retrieving web pages using EZPROXY, and except for one or two cases, I can't make it work. When I use manual redirection (very long and quite ugly), I manage to retrieve the web pages nearly all of the time. Any ideas how to make it work without manual redirection?
Thanks in advance,
Guy Naamati (mrguy123)
