I have a routine that saves a backup copy of a url using the LWP module.  It works reliably on Windows servers.  I have just set up a machine with the J2EE environment and Tomcat web server, and the routine will not run through the server on this machine (although it will run from the command prompt).  I presume this means that the problem is somewhere in the server setup or permissions, but I can’t seem to locate anything that resolves the problem.  I need to get this working through the browser because it is part of a web-based system.  Any suggestions on what needs tweaked?

 

Here is an abbreviated copy of the code:

sub CheckSave{

            my $id = $_[0];                          #passing primary key

            my $url = "" #whether or not to save backup

            my $savepath = $_[2];

 

            #check web page header to see if it exists

            @dat=head($url);                      

            if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) {

                        print <<EOF;

                        <DIV STYLE="color:red;border:solid 2px red; padding:4px;">

                                    System cannot contact the Internet to save a backup.  Please contact the webmaster

                                    or edit the web address entered.<BR>

                                    URL:  $url

                        </DIV>

EOF

;

            die;

            }          

 

           

            #get extension for saved file from url

            $ext=$in{"cec_url"};                                                       

            if ($ext =~ /\?/ || $ext =~ /.com$/) {

                        #if url contains a query string, use header to return extension

                        #if .com address, use content_type                                

                        $ext=$dat[0];

                        $ext =~ s/.*\/(.*)/\1/;

            } else {

                        #otherwise, find the file type from the url

                        $ext =~ s/.*\.([^\/]*)/\1/;

            }

                       

                       

            #save the new web download

            $saveFile = $savepath.$id.".".$ext;                                  #generate archive file name

            $status = getstore($in{"cec_url"}, $saveFile);                    #check url and save copy

 

            if (is_success($status)) {

                        print qq[<BR><CENTER>Backup copy saved.</CENTER>\n];

            } else {

                        #print warning if website was not valid

                        print <<EOF;

                                    <DIV STYLE="color:red;border:solid 2px red; ">

                                    Website link not found.  Archive file not saved.<BR>

                                    Please edit this record.

                                    </DIV>

EOF

;

 

            }

}
