I am trying to write a Perl program on a linux server to submit a request to
a web server. The code runs fine when I request an http page, but I get an
error when I try to get an https page.
See sample code. I activated the debug mode, see output below. I am using
the post method because I ultimately want to send arguments, but this is
just a test and it does not need the arguments. There are no proxy servers
required on my server.
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks
Philippe
--------Sample Code----------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$ENV{HTTPS_DEBUG} = 1;
require LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$in{id} = "1";
$response = $ua->post("https://www.viaklix.com/Admin/login.asp";, \%in);
print $response->content;
exit;
--------End Sample Code----------
--------Output----------
SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
SSL_connect:SSLv2/v3 write client hello A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server hello A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server certificate A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read server done A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 write client key exchange A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 write change cipher spec A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 write finished A
SSL_connect:SSLv3 flush data
SSL_connect:SSLv3 read finished A
500 Server closed connection without sending any data back
--------End Output----------
