Yeah I've added those packages and tried other flavors of having them grab the https url, but I keep getting the same issue when using mechanize. "bad hostname" is a DNS issue, nothing really you can do from perl Try `lwp-request -UuSsEed https://google.com/` if that doesn't work, nothing can work	[reply] [d/l]

Understood, but the original URL was not using https, it was only recently changed. Previously, it worked fine, so I don't think its a dns issue. Also if I just use the IP address instead of the hostname it just says "can't connect" instead of the full bad hostname. I think its more to do with mechanize not working correctly with https, and I was wondering if there were some tips and tricks people have used to get to work	[reply]
