    If you are on a Unix, your http_proxy is probably set if you are using one. env gives you your environment, look for http_proxy (any case). If it is set then the following shell command should do it:
    export https_proxy=$http_proxy
    (You may need to change the case of the environment variable you are looking for.)

    Hi Tilly, Still working in this bloody problem. It does not look like that the problem is https_proxy. I have been debugginf the perl modules and it looks like I am having problems with http.pm module. I am just wondering if you could tell me in that module there is a piece of code that is: my $socket = $self->_new_socket($host, $port, $timeout); Where is the function "_new_socket" ? because if I insert messages in the function that is in that file, I do not get any messages, so, I do not know where does this function reside ... If you could help me, that will be very helpful Thank you very much!!
      On my machine I find that in /usr/local/lib/site_perl/LWP/Protocol/http.pm and /usr/local/lib/site_perl/LWP/Protocol/https.pm.

      (Good luck. When I faced a problem with https and proxies once I stopped thinking about it as soon as I noticed that I could just use Win32::Internet from the user's Windows machines and it worked just fine.)
