Grace,
You are using the wrong authorization method. For the proxy server, you
want proxy_authorization_basic.
From the lwpfaq:
X) How do I use LWP when I am behind a proxy server?
Look at lwpcook for more detail (perldoc lwpcook)
Code:
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->proxy(['http','ftp'] => "YOUR.PROXY.COM");
my $req = new HTTP::Request 'GET',"http://www.perl.com";
$req->proxy_authorization_basic("PROXY_USERNAME","PROXY_PASSWORD");
(Where YOUR.PROXY.COM is your proxy server,and PROXY_USERNAME
and PROXY_PASSWORD are needed to log into the proxy server.
You can skip the proxy_auth_basic step if your server is
open)
$response = $ua->request($req);
You can find the lwpfaq at:
http://people.we.mediaone.net/kfrankel/lwpfaq.txt
Also, read the lwpcook, it has more detail and topics than the faq.
