P.S. This connection would be performed through our Proxy server if that introduces additional concerns!

Before I result to violence, I would like to humbly request some help from those with experience in this area. I'm running MS WinNT 4.0 (SP5), MSVC++ 5.0, ActivePerl 5.005_003(build 513). I installed/compiled OpenSSL (version 0.9.4) yesterday and have been trying like crazy to get the Net::SSLeay-1.05 and IO::Socket::SSL-0.73 perl modules compiled!!!! I finally seem to have done it, but I'm not able to do a simple connect!!! We are trying to eventually send data files to UPS, but all I want to do is prove that I can get a response after I send a request. Using either Netscape or IE, I can go to their initial login screen ( https://www.pld-certify.ups.com), <https://www.pld-certify.ups.com)> then proceed to a file upload screen. What do I have to do to connect to that initial login screen using my newly acquired libraries????!!!! There also has got to be something I have to do regarding certificates, but I don't know how to proceed! Here is what happens when I try to use 'get_page.pl' from the 1.04 distribution of Net::SSLeay : -------- ./get_page.pl www.cryptsoft.com <http://www.cryptsoft.com> 443 / C:\bin\perl\site\lib\Net\SSL\examples\get_page.pl 247: open_tcp_connection: failed ` www.cryptsoft.com' <http://www.cryptsoft.com'> , 443 (Unknown error) Result was `HTTP/1.0 900 NET OR SSL ERROR C:\bin\perl\site\lib\Net\SSL\examples\get_page.pl 247: open_tcp_connection: failed ` www.cryptsoft.com' <http://www.cryptsoft.com'> , 443 (Unknown error) ' =================== Page follows ================= -------- I also saw errors like this when I did a 'make test' for Net::SSLeay : t\test1.............Use of uninitialized value at blib\lib\Net\SSLeay.pm (autosplit into blib\lib\auto/Net\SSLeay/randomize.al) line 1159. Random number generator not seeded!!! Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
