Re: Why doesn't this work anymore ?

Try using something like:

my $request = HTTP::Request -> new('GET', $link);
... instead of your line for this.

Subject: Why doesn't this work anymore ?


Hi all,

Don't know if this is off-topic :

I have a script that uses the LWP::UserAgent module to retrieve some page 
content from an other website.  This worked fine, untill a few days 
ago.  Now all I get is a 403 Forbidden error.  I can still view the 
contents with a browser.

Is it possible for a server to see the difference between a browser and a 
script using the LWP::UserAgent module ?  Can I fix this ?

Here's a part of the code I use :

    require LWP::UserAgent;
    $UserAgent = new LWP::UserAgent;
    $request = new HTTP::Request 'GET', 
"http://www.somedomain.tld/somepage.html";;
    $UserAgent->agent('Mozilla 4.7');
    $response = $UserAgent->request($request);
    @content = split (/\n/, $response->content);

Any help ?



Kind regards,
