If 10.2.1.7 complies even even minimally with HTTP/1.1, then you can force requests to be sent to it by setting 10.2.1.7 to be your proxy server. If limiting yourself to LWP::Simple, then the proxy server is set through environment variables (e.g., set http_proxy to http://10.2.1.7/). See the LWP::UserAgent man page for more details. Note: Pretending 10.2.1.7 is a proxy will result in 10.2.1.7 getting an absolute URI in the request line, whereas www.depesz.pl would have received an absolute path instead. HTTP/1.1 servers are required to accept either form, so this difference should normally not matter. -ccwf -- Charles C.
