Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=55009 >
I have an HTTP status code 500 when trying to install Alien-WxWidgets.
Alien-WxWidgets has an old version (0.10) of File::Fetch embedded in the
distribution. The latest version of File::Fetch is 0.24.
I am behind a proxy, but I don'think it is relevant. Platform: Win32.
When I try to manually download the file with File::Fetch 0.24, it works
(File::Fetch uses wget.exe I have), but with 0.10 it fails:
C:\>perl -MFile::Fetch -e "File::Fetch->new(uri =>
'http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-2.8.10.tar.gz')->fetch"
Fetch failed! HTTP response: 500 Internal Server Error [500 read
timeout] at -e
line 1
Also, as File::Fetch is embedded in the distribution a more up to date
File::Fetch installed on the system is not used.
