Hello everyone,

In continuation with my post how to upload a file to a secured website? and How to authenticate and upload file to a secured server
i was able to figure out to go out of proxy to access HTTPS website by simply setting $ua->proxy(https => undef); and taking proxy from Env varaibles

Now i am able to authenitcate to a website and get the session cookie and pass it to another page for uploading a file. But i see that the file is not being uploaded atall and i always gets the return from the website as error in file importing. below is part of the code i use for upload

request=POST $upload_url,Content_Disposition => 'multipart/form-data',
                Content_Type=> 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
                Content_Type=> 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
                Content_Length=> 1024,
                submit => 1,
                Content   => [ filename=>[$file ] ];

[download]


I am uploading a CSV file to this website.

Also, I see this error <BR

Content-Length header value was wrong, fixed at C:/Perl/lib/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 189.


in my log Is this the reason why the file is not uploaded? also how to set correct content-length?

>
This webpage link can only be access via POST method and requires a file as parameter and returns a text file which contains the status message

Thanks a lot in advance
