in thread troubleshoot ppm error?

It is company firewall. Is there any configuration file from perl where I can change it to http://ppm4.activestate.com from ( http://ppm4.activestate.com:80 )without mentioning port 80 since it was redirecting it to active state website? Will this work? Just curious how it is working for others !!!

    I'd strongly suggest that you ask your support guys for their assistance. Diagnosing this further by guesswork is pointless.

    I can change it to http://ppm4.activestate.com from ( http://ppm4.activestate.com:80 )without mentioning port 80

    By default, urls starting with http:// go to port 80 anyway, removing the ':80' won't change anything.

    You could look at perldoc activeperl::ppm::profile and investigate further, but your tackling the problem from the wrong end.

      I have checked with our support guys.We have one proxy server without password and that can be used.I have tried with setting http_proxy environment variable.also referred all the documents related to this but no luck.Same issue.Not sure how to proceed further.

        If setting http_proxy as described in the reply here doesn't work, the only other suggestion I have is to try setting ACTIVEPERL_PPM_DEBUG true and see if that gives you or your support guys any more clues.

        Beyond that, I don't think that there is much anyone off-site is going to be able to do to help you. Sorry.
