Then the only other thing I can think of is that Perl is using a different proxy setup from your browser. Check out the POD for LWP and LWP::UserAgent which shows you how to define a proxy for an LWP::UserAgent object. You may need to talk to your sysadmin for the details. In any case it would be an odd way to set up a network to force internal IP addresses through a proxy by default. You might even try finding out your real IP address and using that instead of the 'localhost' loopback. After that then I'm stumped. Does the GET just hang forever or does it time out? If it finishes eventually Have you done: print $response->status_line to see what the final status is. > Rob wrote: > > > > Printing an HTTP header to STDOUT has no useful purpose at all. > > this is not compleate task at hand.

OK, so you're both server and client, which makes sense. Have you always run this code as a CGI fire up by Apache? If so, then you would do better to make it work stand-alone from your command line before simultaneously battling the restrictions imposed on the server's login.
