HTTPS proxy setup

[John Mannix]

I'm trying to get lib-www-perl to post some form data to a secure server via a proxy server. I've tried several variations along the lines of:   $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; $ua->proxy(https => 'https://xxx.xxx.x.x:port'); $req = new HTTP::Request(POST => 'https://something.com'); $res = $ua->request($req); print $res->as_string;   If I don't set up the proxy I get an error message saying the site cannot be found, which is to be expected. When I set up the proxy the script hangs.   The proxy handles https ok when used from a browser. I've tried pointing the proxy at http:// and https:// but neither seems to work.   Any idea what is going wrong?   Thanks, John   -- Governor Technology --------------------------------- Web and Internet Software Development John Mannix MA (Cantab) Telephone: +44 20 8857 9846 Facsimile: +44 20 8857 8839 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.governor.co.uk
