It seems you're not supplying a protocol here. Maybe that's the cause of your error. Personally, I would try with WWW::Mechanize and use something like the Mozilla Live HTTP Headers and Wireshark to inspect and compare the network traffic sent by the browser and your script.

I am supplying a protocol. The script works fine (without requiring a proxy) from a LAN. But I need to run it outside the LAN where I need the proxy to connect.	[reply]

Thanks Corion. So, if it's the right way of doing it, then I must find another proxy.	[reply]
