Re: https login using WWW::Mechanize

You're trying to login to a https site, so you have to tell LWP that:

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->protocols_allowed(['https']);

I think WWW::Mechanize already understands that from the URL provided. I was able to login to a https website (https://mail.yahoo.com) already with the code posted there. Please read the detailed description of the issues I'm facing and the measures I've taken to debug the issues in my posting. Thanks.	[reply]

I think WWW::Mechanize already understands that from the URL provided. What makes you think that? What have you done to test that hypothesis? Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.	[reply]

I was able to login to 'https//mail.yahoo.com' using the same code(which is secured). I dint have to mention anything about the protocols_allowed.	[reply]

calling protocols_allowed is completely unnecessary , by default all protocols are allowed and none are forbidden	[reply]
