I too have gotten the erro that Luke describes. Here is the output from
perl -W
when I try the same thing:
LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::simple_request: GET https://www.xxx.com/
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header: Checking www.xxx.com for cookies
HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header: Checking .xxx.com for cookies
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
Argument "SSL negotiation failed" isn't numeric in scalar assignment at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/IO/Socket/INET.pm line 90.
Use of uninitialized value in hash element at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/Net/SSL.pm line 53.
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Internal Server Error
Query failed. 500 Can't connect to www.xxx.com:443 (Timeout)
I still haven't figured out what the problem is--perhaps this extra
information
will shed some light?
