Thanks Jerrad, I actually tried lynx first. However, the html files are on a server that needs authentication. Even adding -auth my-user-id:my-pw To lynx was not enough.
Here is the lynx output (I added the # as these are comments in the perl program): # Looking up [my proxy] # Making HTTP connection to [my proxy] # Sending HTTP request. # HTTP request sent; waiting for response. # Alert!: Invalid header 'WWW-Authenticate: NTLM' # Alert!: Can't retry with authorization! Contact the server's WebMaster. # Can't Access [the url I wanted] # Alert!: Unable to access document. # # lynx: Can't access startfile I am not sure what I really need to do. I looked at the headers using Mozilla Firefox add-on and decided that generating the proper values for WWW-Authenticate was too complex for lynx, and for Mechanize too. But maybe I am missing something.
