Hi all!

I am trying to use Perl to connect to an NTLM-authenticated site via LWP. (My final goal is to use SOAP::Lite but I'm doing a proof of concept with LWP first as it's simpler.)

Script below, mostly copied from googling around and finding that this works for everyone else:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);

my $username = "DOMAIN\\username";
my $password = 'password';
my $soapUrl = "https://site.domain.com/directory/";

# Set up the ntlm client and then the base64 encoded ntlm handshake me
+ssage
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(keep_alive=>1);
$ua->credentials('site.domain.com/directory:443', '', $username, $pass
+word);

$request = GET $soapUrl;
print "--Performing request now...-----------\n";
$response = $ua->request($request);
print "--Done with request-------------------\n";

if ($response->is_success) {print "It worked!->" . $response->code . "
+\n"}
else {print "It didn't work!->" . $response->code . ": " . $response->
+status_line . "\n"}

Output: 
--Performing request now...-----------
--Done with request-------------------
It didn't work!->401: 401 Unauthorized

Is HTTPS making it problematic? Because from what I can tell, the above really should work.

I very much appreciate any help you can give!
