in thread using http::record if inside fire wall

So you need to use a proxy ($foo) to be able to reach the internet because of your firewall? If that's the case, just supply HTTP::Proxy with a LWP::UserAgent object configured to use $foo.

Thats correct, because of firewall I added
$agent->proxy('http', "real-proxy");
I did tried with above line uncommented but it does't work, I mean doesn't connect to internet.
thanks

    Turn on debugging to figure out whats going on (see perldoc LWP::Debug)

      Hi All, Yea!! its working. Ok I did two changes.
      1. I changed port from default(8080) to some other, just incase I was running something else on that port.
      2. I changed line from
      $agent->proxy('http', "real-proxy"); To $agent->proxy('http', "http://real-proxy");
      I think second change did the trick. Thank you all very much for your sugession. regards Vinay
