I know to use an object, but misunderstood the statement: "If we could
find the current LWP object executing while in Net::SSLIf we could find
the current LWP object executing while in Net::SSL..." to mean not to do
it this and interpreted your notation literally.
Using the object call gets rid of the 'strict refs' error message, but it
still doesn't work. Code is:
$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = "https://$proxy:8080/";;
$ENV{HTTP_PROXY} = "http://$proxy:8080/";;
$ua->env_proxy();
$agent = 'Lynx/Chicago DMZ monitoring script';
$ua->agent($agent);
for ( 1..3 )
{
$bad = $good = 0;
for $srvr ( @ssl_srvrs, )
# for $srvr ( @http_srvrs, @ssl_srvrs, )
{
$res = '';
$req = new HTTP::Request('GET', "$srvr");
$ress = $ua->request($req);
$res = $ress->content;
etcetera., where $srvr is 'http://servername.domain/file' or
'https://servername.domain/file'
Same general code works fileto the same boxes without proxy (different
route not requiring proxy).
Works fine for http, ethereal shows nothing leaving the box for https, the
$ua->request is failing immediately.
BTW, thanx for the quick response.
