I am trying to scrape a site to get info from a company's database so that I can build our own. It is our info and my use is totally legit, but the company no longer supports an app that would do this task for me. That said, I have been trying to use http::mechanize and I am having trouble logging in. They us frames so I have been calling the main page directly...Anyway, I decided to try http::recorder.

I believe that everything is setuip correctly because it logs basic browsing, but when I go to the site in question, it hangs and if left alone long enough perl.exe will ramp-up to 99% of the processor as reported by windows.

Can some one else try to access the page and see if it logs/hangs and try to log in to see if it records the attempt? Here is the page:
https://esolutions.landauerinc.com/lisn/protected/default.aspx
I can not supply valid user/pass details because of the sensitivity of the data.

Thank you all in advance!

p.s. They seem to use a mishmash o js and asp...
