Dear Monks,

I am trying to make an HTTPS request across the proxy server. I am using LWP::UserAgent. I have downloaded and installed openssl and Crypt::SSleay. My operating system is Windows 2000. My HTTPS request is successful, but I do not get any content. The response->as_string method outputs:

#############################################
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Client-Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 02:39:25 GMT
Client-Response-Num: 1
Refresh: 0; URL=https://www.ultimatix.net
<HTML></HTML>
############################################

This happens whatever I try to do. I have tried out almost every thing. I have even created ssl certificate and used the same. But nothing works. I do not get the content.

My code looks like this 

sub GetBaseURL{
my($lstrURL)=@_;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("MyApp/0.1");
$ua->proxy([qw(https http)], "http://proxy.compaq.com:8080");
$ENV{HTTPS_VERSION}='3';
#$ENV{HTTPS_CERT_FILE}="C:/openssl/private/CAcert.pem";
#$ENV{HTTPS_KEY_FILE}="C:/openssl/private/CAkey.pem";
$ENV{HTTPS_PKCS12_FILE}="C:/openssl/binu.p12";
$ENV{HTTPS_PKCS12_PASSWORD}='passcode';
#$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY}="http://proxy.compaq.com:8080";
$ua->timeout(1000);
my $request=HTTP::Request->new(POST=> $lstrURL);
my $response=$ua->request($request);
#my $response=$ua->get($lstrURL) or die "cannot fetch $lstrURL: $!";
if ($response->is_success){
    return $response->as_string;
}else{
    return $response->code;
}


}

Please bail me out. Suggest me a way to make HTTPS request across the proxy.
