I am not sure either, since I didn't install apache myself. Do you think
that this really looks like an apache error?
I thought that because:
1. the same response (500) has come from 5 other https servers
2. apache seems to handle SSL requests from netscape (running
locally) fine
that apache was probably OK.
Your question did prompt me to try listing the response headers in a bit
more detail; I got this:
"500 (Internal Server Error) Can't connect to
www1.bud.dev.mch.mobshop.de:443 (Bad file number)"
( updated version of my script now at
http://boldra.com/source/hammer.pl.txt )
I also found an example on Randal Schwarz's site which *kindof* shows you
how to use https (
http://web.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col34.html ). It looks
like my initial assumpion, that using https via LWP is as easy as using
http, was correct.
So the problem would seem to be in my LWP, SSLeay or OpenSSL. Any
thoughts on further debugging?
