Tried perldoc LWP::Simple
noted the example:
perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://www.sn.no";'
so I tried:
/usr/central/bin/perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://foo.acme.com/";'
# perl is in /usr/central/bin
on Unix the error is:
501 Protocol scheme 'hostfirewall.acme.com' is not supported
<URL:http://foo.acme.com/>
# names changed to protect the innocent
Why does that happen? Is it picking up our firewall from an ENV variable
that's part of the shell?
Do I need to tell perl to ignore the firewall, somehow?
What I'd like to accomplish (perhaps with a one-liner ) is check the message
headers returned from an internal web server is LWP::UserAgent a better tool
for that?
thanks for any insight,
Rob
