Hi all, I'm trying to send a page using Perl via the WCTP protocol. For some reason, I cannot connect to the host "wctp.att.net/WCTP" (or any host for that matter) on port 80. I figure it must be some server configuration that I need to set. I don't think it's a port problem b/c I'm able to send a page via WCTP using the same port using a stand-alone app.
Anyhow, here's the code I'm using:

sub send_wctp_old{
    #my $url = "http://wctp.cingular.com:80/WCTP";
    my $url = "http://wctp.att.net/WCTP";
    print "TestEPaging::send_wctp_old()--Sending via WCTP to " . $url . " 
";
 
    my $body = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><!DOCTYPE wctp-Operation SYSTEM \"http://www.skytel.com/protocols/dtds/wctp/wctpv1-0.dtd\">";
    $body = $body . "<wctp-Operation wctpVersion=\"WCTP-DTD-1.1\"><wctp-SubmitClientMessage><wctp-SubmitClientHeader>";
    $body = $body . "<wctp-ClientOriginator senderID=\"";
    $body = $body . $from;
    $body = $body . "\"/><wctp-Recipient recipientID=\"";
    $body = $body . $to;
    $body = $body . "\"/></wctp-SubmitClientHeader><wctp-Payload><wctp-Alphanumeric>";
    $body = $body . $message;
    $body = $body . "</wctp-Alphanumeric></wctp-Payload></wctp-SubmitClientMessage></wctp-Operation>";
 
    #my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    my $ua=new LWP::UserAgent;
    my $header=new HTTP::Headers;
    print "TestEPaging::send_wctp_old()--Created new UserAgent
";
 
    #my $http_response = $ua->request(POST $url, Content_Type => 'text/xml', Content => $body); 
    
    my $req = new HTTP::Request ("POST", $url, $header, Content => $body );
 
    my $http_response=$ua->request($req);
 
    print "TestEPaging::send_wctp_old()--Sent request
";
 
    if ($http_response->is_success){
        print "TestEPaging::send_wctp_old()--Message sent successfully to " . $to;
    }
    else{
        print "TestEPaging::send_wctp_old()--Message failed - " . $http_response->as_string;
    }
}

And here's the error output I'm seeing:

TestEpaging::main()--to=4255333734 
TestEpaging::main()--from=1111111111 
TestEpaging::main()--message=Hello

Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks! Karim Varela
