Re: WWW-Mechanizer under windows

Thanks for the comments guys.

I did remove the 0.48 package and installed the new one (1.14) (By the way, is there a list of current repositories and how to add them to ppm?)

I'm still unable to make use of the Mechanize for some reason. A telnet on port 80 works fine.

C:\Perl\projects>perl test.pl

OK at test.pl line 30.
Code: 500 at test.pl line 31.
Actual content: 500 Server closed connection without sending any data 
+back

C:\Perl\projects>
[download]

Any ideas? Thanks.

When you telneted to port 80 did you try issue a `GET /index.html HTTP/1.0` [download] following by two presses of the return key? Gettting a `500 Server closed connection without sending any data` back is consistent with telnet ipaddress 80 connecting but not sending any data.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Right. It seemed like the problem was that I specified a $mech->get("http://10.0.1.1") instead of $mech->get("http://10.0.1.1/index.htm") which is weird because on linux it worked just fine without the index.htm suffix...	[reply]
