Hi fellow monks,

Ok, here's where I stand at the moment. I'm trying to access an intranet web page in order to fill in some forms but the obstacle at the moment is the company's proxy and authentication for the proxy. In my code, i tried accessing google with the same failed result. And btw, I do not know how to get the realm field under $mech->credentials. If someone could enlighten me, it would be very much appreciated!!

Here's my code:

use WWW::Mechanize;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use MIME::Base64;
use strict;
my $url = 'http://www.google.com';
my $proxy = 'http://someproxy.com:80/';
my $alias = 'Windows IE 6';
my $username = 'user';
my $password = 'passwd';

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1, agent => $alias);
$mech->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], $proxy);
$ENV{'http_proxy'} = $proxy;
my @args = (
Authorization => "Basic" . MIME::Base64::encode( $username . ":" . $pa
+ssword )

);
$mech->credentials( $proxy, "MOCPROXY04", $username, $password );
$mech->get( $url );
$mech->get( $url, @args );
my $response = $mech->response();
for my $key ( $response->header_field_names() ) {
print $key, ":", $response->header( $key ), "\n";
}

Here's the compilation result:

Error GETing http://www.google.com: Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. ) at mech.pl line 22
