Re^2: Problem with simple LWP get request

I was not able to make a GET work beyond what I show here. I tried something similar with a POST and it worked... I guess I'll go with POST (though I'd rather know why GET didn't work...).

Thanks to everyone for your help

It should return an authentication key (a string of characters) at the end of the response line and it doesn't. It's possible the service is messed up at the source. They've been pretty flaky. Using POST works without a hitch so I can't imagine why GET doesn't. I'm just so new to using HTML protocols and LWP I thought I must be doing something wrong (and maybe I am).	[reply]
