Ok, so the `add_handler` call showed a bunch of log messages. Below is the excerpt of the log GET https://www.myreports.com/tax_report.php?dc_range=Y&dc_date1=7%2F9 +%2F2012&dc_date2=7%2F9%2F2012 Accept-Encoding: gzip Referer: https://www.myreports.com/admin/ User-Agent: WWW-Mechanize/1.72 Cookie: PHPSESSID=df9f4mmljub54dfi0vvdm2lh12 Cookie2: $Version="1" (no content) HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0 Connection: close Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 00:00:30 GMT Pragma: no-cache Server: Apache Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 555 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Client-Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 00:00:31 GMT Client-Peer: xx.xx.xx.xx:xxx Client-Response-Num: 1 Client-SSL-Cert-Issuer: /C=GB/ST=Greater Manchester/L=Salford/O=COMODO + CA Limited/CN=COMODO High-Assurance Secure Server CA Client-SSL-Cert-Subject: /C=US/postalCode=75238/ST=Texas/L=Dallas/stre +et=10300 Sanden Dr Suite 100/O=SpeedFC/OU=PlatinumSSL Wildcard/CN=*.m +yreports.com Client-SSL-Cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA Client-SSL-Warning: Peer certificate not verified [download] The only warning I can see is the last line, looks like the SSL certificate cannot be verified.

The warning is due to LWP::UserAgent not verifying the certificate. You can make it verify if you want (look at ssl_opts()), but that doesn't seem to be your problem. This debug excerpt doesn't look like the part we are interested in. Move the `add_handler()` calls to just before you call click_button(). You just want to verify whether or not the form is being submitted, in which case you'll see the request and then hopefully a response. If you don't see a request then you know for sure click_button() isn't working, but I can't tell you why it wouldn't be. If you can't get `click_button()` to go you could work around it- build the request like you would if you were just using LWP::UserAgent. Not ideal but sometimes you gotta just get things working.

Yes, thats what I did, the `add_handler()` is called just before the `click_button()` call (code below), and I do not see any request or response. There are a bunch of random text that appears though, but it doesn't look like a request and/or response (elaborate log given below) .... #Logging $mech->add_handler("request_send", sub { shift->dump; return }); $mech->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return }); $mech->click_button(input => $inputobject); print $mech->status() . "\n"; if ( ! $mech->success() ) { print "Cannot Login....\n"; print( STDERR $mech->status() . "\n" ); } .....

One more interesting point is , I just tried the program on my Mac and its not working on it either. I am getting inclined to believe that the WWW::Mechanize module doesn't quite like the Unix/Linux architecture. Also, in my Mac, I am unable to log on to the site from the web browser and it says un-trusted SSL cert security error, but that might be because I do not have the Proxy setting done on the browsers properly. Not entirely sure what is going on here	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I think I was looking at the wrong place in the Log. One more thing i found this morning is that the "POST" is returning with a "HTTP/1.1 302 Found" in the AIX machine, where as the same code and same URL returns "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" in the Windows machine. Not sure where its trying to re-direct to. If I use `$mech->requests_redirectable([]);` to avoid being redirected, it returns with a 302 and also says "Cannot Login...". Is there I way I can fetch the URL where it re-directs to, using Mech? I was hoping that Mech should take care of that itself, but looks like it isn't. My Windows machine is set to detect proxy server settings automatically and I dont see any re-direct when I try to open the login page in the browser.	[reply] [d/l]
