Hi Josh!
I was able to isolate the problem down to the proxy. Last night I tried the
same script at my office, which doesn't have a proxy and everything worked
fine. The proxy on my client's site is MS Proxy Server 2.0. I can access any
HTTP page but when I switch to HTTPS the response is just a blank page
HTML/HTML. I tried testing with lwp_ssl_test and net_ssl_test with no
luck: lwp_ssl_test completes normal with no errors; net_ssl_test result is
an unknown error in module SSL.pm line 44.
If lwp_ssl_test works, then you got it! You just need to script
like what's in lwp_ssl_test.
LWP::UserAgent functions (I already tested all possible proxy options with
it)? Or maybe another module that provides this capability.
Yes, look at lwp_ssl_test for the right %ENV settings,
or perldoc Crypt::SSLeay, and check out the PROXY section.
The trick is setting:
$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = 'http://proxy_hostname_or_ip:port';
but not using any LWP proxy settings explicitly.

So, I downloaded the latest version of ActivePerl 5.6.1 (build 629), Crypt-SSLeay 17.1, and libwww-perl 5.48 (everything was installed in the same order). Forgot to mention that I am running Windows 2000 Server. Tested the installation with some simple GET and POST requests to HTTP pages. Everything works fine (I go through a Proxy server for all these tests). Then I switched to HTTPS pages. Everything appears to be fine and I get response code 200 (OK). However, when I print the response content it appears blank - only HTML/HTML [[ cc openssl users which is the mailing list for Crypt::SSLeay support ]] Make sure you can access the sites through the proxy with a normal web browser. If not, then it may be a proxy error. Then try downgrading to an older LWP version. Users have been reporting problems with the latest LWP. Also, try to contact the site with the lwp-ssl-test net_ssl_test that comes with Crypt::SSLeay package. If the latter works, then it may be a problem with how you are using LWP. Besure to read the perldoc Crypt::SSLeay docs, and not solely rely on LWP::UserAgent for proxy usage. -- Josh __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List[EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
