Sorry - my first question was misleading then. Try `print Dumper $response` to see what actually gets returned from Flickr::API and then you should know why `$ua->get()` on that doesn't work.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Re^5: Flickr::API and using a proxy by Corion (Patriarch) on Dec 08, 2006 at 15:47 UTC
What I was unsuccessfully trying to lead you to (my fault) was, that even if you have the right proxy values, `$response` does not contain what you think, and especially, that `$ua->get()` does not know what to do with the value contained in `$response`. So, consider now putting your proxy code back in to see if the Flickr API works with the proxy or not, just to see if what you think the problem is (the proxy) actually is the problem (it isn't. Your usage of LWP::UserAgent is the problem).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
