Mark,
You have any idea why this bit of code doesn't work? I'm trying to access a
secure site:
Is there something special (like use a different package...) to access a https
site using LWP? My script below works fine going against a http page but not
against an https site.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
#********** This Works ***********
my $uri = URI->new('http://www.yahoo.com');
#********** This Doesn't ***********
#my $uri =
URI->new('https://some.securesite.com/cgi/purchase.asp?item_id=700314996616303&i
tem_code=1');
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent("MyAgent/0.1 ". $ua->agent);
my $request = new HTTP::Request('GET' , $uri );
my $response = $ua->request($request);
print $response->content;
