Dear Monks,

I'm trying to log in to a site using a script. The problem is that I keep getting 500 Can't connect to www.saxobank.com:80 (connect: Unknown error). The strange thing is that I only get this error when trying sites using authentication (which I guess means this is not a proxy issue). I've tried several with the same result. My code is below. The error is generated immediately after the GET request. As far as I can tell the POST works fine. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

#! c:\perl\bin -w

use strict;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);
use LWP::Protocol::https;
use Crypt::SSLeay;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => 'cookie_jar', autosave =>1)
+);

# configure LWP::UserAgent to follow redirects after POST
push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

my $request=$ua->request(
  POST "https://www.saxobank.com/Default.aspx/?id=2&Lan=EN&Au=1&Grp=5"
+,
  {
    __VIEWSTATE => 'dDwtMTE1ODc1NzA2NTs7PjAuMSDgHjTB0rV7byCH14/dWkMm',
    txtUID      => 'myID',
    txtPWD      => 'myPass',
    submit      => 'log in'
  });
print $request->is_success ? $request->content : "failed\n";
$request= $ua->request(GET "http://www.saxobank.com/?ID=101");


print $request->is_success ? $request->content : $request->status_line
+;
