Hi, Here's my code 
    #!/path/to/perl
    use strict;
    use LWP::UserAgent;
    use HTTP::Request::Common;
    use Crypt::SSLeay;

    $ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = 'http://proxy:8080/';

    $ENV{HTTPS_DEBUG} = 1;


    my $myurl = "https://www.redhat.com";

    my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
    $ua->cookie_jar( {} ); 
    $ua->protocols_allowed( [ 'http','https'] );
    $ua->proxy(['http', 'https'], 'http://proxy:8080/');

    my $page = $ua->get($myurl);

    die "Error $myurl\n ", $page->status_line, "\n Aborting" 
    unless $page->is_success; 
    print "Success", $page1->content_type, " document!\n";

It returns 
    Error at https://www.redhat.com
    400 Bad Request
    Aborting at test.pl line 30.

Apparently, Its a bug: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=1894 The workaround doesn't work for me. The proxy connection fails with it
