Hi, Monks! I'm trying to use SOAP:Lite. And following program have been written:
#!perl -w use SOAP::Lite; print SOAP::Lite -> uri('http://www.soaplite.com/Demo' -> proxy('http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi', proxy => [ 'http' => 'http://firewall_ip/', 'login'=>'some_login', 'password'=>'some_password', 'port'=>'3128' ]) -> hi() -> result;
answer is: SOAP call failed: 404 Not Found! Setting up
$ENV{HTTP_proxy} = 'http://some_login:some_password@firewall_ip:3128';
have been tried, but gives same result. same script with no firewall works fine. Please, follow me over orthodox way of SOAP firewall using!

    I've been having trouble with this as well... but with scrapers. I have yet to be able to get through a proxy that requires a password when using perl.. I'm leary of keeping a password in cleartext or sending it across the network as clear text...
