Hi, thanks for your response. I tried with the $ua->credentials(). I got the following result

1. I tried the https website, i always get status code 200 OK
2. I tried with http://www.google.com, i get 407 Proxy Authentication Required
3. I tried with a local intranet website, code works fine

Also in the cookeis file i always get this only #LWP-Cookies-1.0
any help would be really appreciated. i am struggling with this for last 2 weeks :-(

Thanks
Karthik
