Hey KC Perl Mongers and CCCKC - I am trying to retrieve scan result information from Qualys from inside a corporate network that has a proxy that requires authentication.
There seems to be a problem with LWP and proxy settings as found in the following links. http://www.codecomments.com/archive233-2006-1-764165.html http://groups.google.fi/group/perl.libwww/browse_thread/thread/aee0e06b1404387/e28d1e3670a21ad5?lnk=st&q=%22https+through+proxy+with+libwww%22&rnum=1#e28d1e3670a21ad5 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=1894 But when I try the workarounds by using the environment variables for http_proxy and/or https_proxy it still fails. If anyone has seen this before or knows a quick fix, please let me know. I am tempted to just call wget which can authenticate to the proxy and pass the Qualys credentials as well. Here is my test code to just retrieve the scan_results from Qualys. ========================= #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; $|++; use LWP::UserAgent; #use LWP::Debug qw(+); my $username = 'qualys_user'; my $password = 'qualys_pass'; $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} = 'http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080'; $ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = 'http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080'; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; # This script doesn't work with the below line uncommented or commented. # I assume that if this is commented that LWP will use the environment variables defined above. #$ua->proxy(['http', 'https'], 'http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080 '); my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://$username:$password\@ qualysguard.qualys.com/msp/scan_report_list.php'); my $res = $ua->request($req); if ($res->is_success) { print $res->as_string; } else { print "Failed: ", $res->status_line, "\n"; } ========================= If I use the Environment variables I get the following message: Failed: 500 Can't connect to qualysguard.qualys.com:443 (Timeout) If I uncomment the line "$ua->proxy(['http', 'https'], 'http://proxyuser:[email protected]:8080');" I get this message: Failed: 400 Bad Request
