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!!
