I am using LWP and Crypt::SSLeay to grab a page with a https:// 
url , with most sites this works fine however with one partcular site the 
script times out all the time, if i put the URL into the browser window it 
takes a few secs, however via LWP the page is never displayed ,

I was wondering if this was something to do with this particualr sites SSL 
certificate , beaucse all the none SSL pages on the site are easily grabbed it 
is just the ones which have SSL security

I have read on this list that there my be a problem grabbing SSL pages off NT 
servers using LWP, also on other sites which also run on NT i only the headers 
are displayed , with the "peer certifcate not verified" text,

can anyone please please help, i am not sure if i am making any sense as i 
know little about why this could be occuring

my code is below for you to have a look at:


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";


use LWP::Simple; 
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST); 
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET); 
use LWP::UserAgent;




my $URL = 
"https://www.autodirectinsuranceservices.co.uk/motorquote/ipl/ipl.dll?Run+auto
pc:/ipl/pagecontrol";

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;

$ua->timeout(60);

$ua->agent("AgentName/0.1 " . $ua->agent);

my $req = new HTTP::Request GET => $URL;

my $res = $ua->request($req);

$content2 = $ua ->request($req)->as_string;



print $content2; 
###-------------- end of code ------------------
