Hi All, I'm having the darndest time trying to figure this out.

Using LWP to access a web page that's hosted by MSFT Sharepoint (i.e., NTLM authentication). When I run the script on Windows or RedHat machines, it works. On Solaris (where I need it to work), it fails. Looking at the log, it appears on Solaris it's not handling the original 401 response code properly and re-requesting the page (as it does on Windows and RedHat). Script below:

TIA.

Joe

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Authen::Basic;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
my $url = 'http://sharepoint/path/to/page.aspx';

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(keep_alive=>1);
$ua->credentials('sharepoint:80', '', "domain\\user", 'password');
$ua->max_redirect('9');

$request = GET $url;
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 . "\n"
}


open(HTTPLOGFILE, ">>http.log") or die "\nERROR: Failed to open http.l
+og file\n\n";
print HTTPLOGFILE $request->as_string, "\n\n";
print HTTPLOGFILE $response->as_string, "\n\n";
