Hi monks,
I'm trying to retrieve this web page 
http://www.GIDEONonline.net/loginx.php?user=metalib

[download]
with the LWP::UserAgent. The code goes like this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
{
    my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent();
    my $search_address = "http://www.GIDEONonline.net/loginx.php?user=
+metalib";

    #creating the request object
    my $req = new HTTP::Request ('POST', $search_address);

    #sending the request
    my $res = $ua->request($req);
    if (!($res->is_success)){
        warn "Warning:".$res->message."\n";
    }

    my $response = $res->headers_as_string();
    my $response .= $res->content();
    print "$response\n";
}

[download]
The response page is as so: 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="js_lib/browser_check.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
        function goThere() {
                if ( (is_nav && (is_major >= 6)) || (is_ie && (is_majo
+r >=5)) ) {
                        document.location.href = "/authx.php?user=meta
+lib&browser_ok=" + 1;
                } else {
                        document.location.href = "/authx.php?user=meta
+lib&browser_ok=" + 0;
                }
        }
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<NOSCRIPT>
        <BR>
        <CENTER><B>Javascript must be turned on to access Gideon Onlin
+e.</B></CENTER>
</NOSCRIPT>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" onLoad="goThere()">
</BODY>
</HTML>

As far as I know, Javascript is not turned off (I retrieve similar pages that use javascript).
The page that I should recieve is Gideon Online's homepage. Because I have IP authentication I might expect problems with authentication on the server (although I have not experienced such problems before), but that doesn't explain the javascript being turned off. Does anybody have any ideas to what might be the reason this isn't working?
Thanks,
Guy Naamati
