Re^3: LWP for URL monitoring - 500 connect timeout errors

So, is it an anomaly,

C:\Perl\bin>lwp-request -Use -m get http://www.eserve.com.sa/
GET https://www.eserve.com.sa/
User-Agent: lwp-request/5.810

500 Connect failed: connect: Unknown error; Unknown error
Content-Type: text/plain
Client-Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:39:54 GMT
Client-Warning: Internal response

500 Connect failed: connect: Unknown error; Unknown error

C:\Perl\bin>lwp-request -Use -m head http://www.eserve.com.sa/
HEAD https://www.eserve.com.sa/
User-Agent: lwp-request/5.810

500 Connect failed: connect: Unknown error; Unknown error
Content-Type: text/plain
Client-Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:40:09 GMT
Client-Warning: Internal response

Don't know how to proceed from here. Or iwll I have to simply hardcode all the redirections?

I too get `http://www.eserve.com.sa/ --> 302 Moved Temporarily` its normal, website redirects to https, then does a html (refresh) redirect to special/changing url. Makes sense, if you trust HTTPS, you can trust the new url.	[reply] [d/l]

Add this to your code `die sprintf "ERRRR(%d)(%s)(%d)(%s)", $!,$!,$^E,$^E;` [download] that should give you better idea of exact error (LWP should include this)	[reply] [d/l]
