(jeffa) Re: LPW and proxies

You can try using the methods available from LWP::UserAgent and HTTP:Request: (from perldoc lwpcook)

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'] => 'http://proxy.myorg.com');

my $req = HTTP::Request->new('GET',"http://www.perl.com");
$req->proxy_authorization_basic("proxy_user", "proxy_password");

my $res = $ua->request($req);
print $res->content if $res->is_success;

That works! Re: LPW and proxies by John M. Dlugosz (Monsignor) on Jun 01, 2001 at 02:05 UTC
Adding the proxy_authorization_basic call works. In fact, simply saying `$request->proxy_authorization_basic($ENV{HTTP_proxy_user}, $ENV{HTTP_p +roxy_pass});` [download] works too, so the info is in the env just fine. It's just not working the way the manual says it should, for some reason?? —John	[reply] [d/l]
