SOAP::Lite uses LWP behind the scenes (for HTTP transports). Take a look at the documentation for SOAP::Transport, in particular the section entitled HTTP Proxy Settings. It supplies some examples. If you can't get that to work immediately, take a step back and see if you can connect to your endpoint using LWP::UserAgent. If you can get that to work, then you can get `SOAP::Lite` to connect as well. Hope this helps...	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. None of them worked for me. Lastly I found out that .. the problem is with network firewall. Somehow it's blocking the request. Wish you all a Happy New Year 2010.Thanks	[reply]
