Unfortunately, the proxy approach (proxy.pl or HTTP::Recorder) works only on plain HTTP, not in combination with SSL.
If it's just a single request you're trying to examine, could you possibly wing it by saving the page locally and modify the URL it sends the data to, as described here?

Actually, the latest version of HTTP::Recorder, 0.03_01, works with SSL.

Instead of the proxy hassle, you may also want to look at Live HTTP Headers (since you're already seem to use Mozilla).

All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.

I tried using the method defined.I executed
./proxy.pl
On doing this, it said Server listening at port 8017

What i did not understand is how do i obtain the log file.

The page I am acquiring through a WWW::Mechanize object, is on loading calling a javascript code for onload. The code is given below. I have read around, but am not able to figure out how to emulate this javascript function.
If somebody could please point me in the appropriate direction.
<script language="javascript">
function window_onload()
{
document.getElementById("divCal").style.display="block";
document.getElementById("divMessage").style.display="none";
}
</script>
Update
Ok understood, as i dont have to display the page, only have to scrape it, the above code is not necessary to be emulated by me.
Thank you for your help. | [reply]

Unless you wish to display the page, you can ignore this code. It's just setting CSS attributes for the elements whose IDs are divCal and divMessage.
If you want to understand what's going on, you should learn about DOM.
