Hey Monks,

I want to upload a file to a webserver, which needs authentication. Seems, as if the UserAgent does not set the credentials (because it works when I turn off server-side authentication).

BTW, the second example works and shows, that the credentials are ok.

What do I miss? Can anymonk help?

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->timeout(10);

$ua->credentials("10.1.1.11:11111", "ups", "username", "password");

my $filename = "hello.txt";
my $temp_filename = "ksjbgfvksbvkns.tmp";

my $req = POST ("http://10.1.1.11:11111/put_test_blob.s2w",
  Content_Type => 'form-data',
  Content      => [ fname  => $temp_filename,
                    hostname => 'lxtest1',
                    section => 'LWP_Test',
                    name => $filename,
                    $temp_filename => ["$filename"],
   ]);

my $result = $ua->request($req);

print $result->as_string() , "\n";
print $result->status_line(), "\n";

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

my $url = "http://10.1.1.111:11111/put_test_value.s2w?hostname=testhos
+t&section=LWP_Test";

my $response = $ua->get($url);

if ($response->is_success) {
  print $response->content;
} else {
  print STDERR $response->status_line;
