https_post using Net::SSLeay

synthetic has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

im using https_post, but i get Operation Time Out for some reason, with no data sent to the target server while running tcpdump. Any ideas where to look on what would be causing the error?

my $pd = make_form(%post_data);

my ($page,$server_response,%headers) = post_https( $self->server(), $self->port(), $self->path(),'', $pd,) || die "$!";

$! says Operation Time Out. , yet manually typing the URL everything works with the server in firefox

Try using LWP via WWW::Mechanize, its much simpler and much easier to debug.	[reply]

Don't forget to use: `use Net::SSLeay qw(post_https make_form);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
