Re: Mechanize and Bypassing SSL Certificate Check

$ua->ssl_opts(verify_hostname => 0);

See LWP::UserAgent and search for $ua->ssl_opts.
Update: Gah. The OP was talking about WWW::Mechanize.

WWW::Mechanize passes its constructor arguments up to its parent (LWP::UserAgent). Try this:

use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(
    ssl_opts => {
        verify_hostname => 0,
    },
);

Thanks, it works. But how come this didn't work? `$mech->ssl_opts( verify_hostname => 0 );` [download] I thought Mechanize inherited most of the methods from LWP::UserAgent. Because if I tried this which is from LWP::UserAgent, it works fine. `$mech->timeout( 100 );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What do you mean exactly by "this didn't work"? Can you call the method `->ssl_opts` on the `$mech` object? After you `use WWW::Mechanize;` what is the value of `$LWP::UserAgent::VERSION` and `$WWW::Mechanize::VERSION`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
