Hello,

I've run into an error while using the LWP module which I haven't come
accross before and was wondering what is means. This is the coding I'm
using:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $USERNAME = "XXXXXX";
my $PASSWORD = "XXXXXX";

my $URL =
"http://technet.rapaport.com/HTTP/RapLink/download.aspx?Polish=I,EX,VG,G,F,P&Symm=I,EX,VG,G,F,P&SortBy=owner&White=1&Fancy=1&Programmatically=yes";;
my $URL =
qq~https://technet.rapaport.com/HTTP/RapLink/download.aspx?Shape=B&CaratSizeFrom=0.4&CaratSizeTo=3.5&ColorFrom=D&ColorTo=J&ClarityFrom=FL&ClarityTo=SI1&CutFrom=I&CutTo=G&GradeReport=GIA,AGS&Polish=I,EX,VG,G&Symmetry=I,EX,VG,G&FluorescenceIntensity=N,VSL,F,M,S&SellerLogin=67155,60745,32235,39321,43460,28426,43412,67000,68708,50841&SortBy=owner&White=1&Programmatically=yes~;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->timeout(60);
#create request
my $req = new HTTP::Request 'POST' => $URL;
$req->content_type("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

#add creadentials to request
$req->authorization_basic($USERNAME,$PASSWORD);
my $res = $ua->request($req);

my $content = $res->content();

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The error/content is returns is "Length Required" .... not exactly sure what
that means.

A pure guess would be that the host requires a 'content-length' header
OR the web service requires a length parameter.


Is there something else I need to add to the coding the to pass this parameter ??

Thx's
