an infinite loop

this peace of code seems to generate an infinite loop, and i have no clue why. this may very well be for a very silly reason, but i'm clueless... while (1) { if ($ntries >= 4) { print ERRLOG "Error : failed $ntries login attempts - giving up.\n"; return 2; } sleep (30*$ntries*$ntrie

HTTP error 500

hi everyone... I guess this problem is less related to perl (though it might be) and more related to HTTP... I'm trying to write a program that sends an HTTP request (using LWP::UserAgent::Request) to a server (web.icq.com, which i know is working fine), but all i get in status_line is "500 Can'

RE: HTTP error 500

Shahar, Can you hit web.icq.com from your web browser (I can) - if so then its not a web server problem. Would sound more like that web.icq.com don't like your useragent/headers/cookies or something (a sort of anti bot/spider tactic) and are giving you a 500 error. Can you show us your code? Are

Re: HTTP error 500

well, i've been trying to grap a page from my own site, and it gives me the same error. also, i use $ua->agent("Mozilla/4.73 [en] (Win95; I)") to cover up for the useragent problem... could this be related to $ua->proxy ? (as i said, this is not my server... i don't know if i'm supposed to use a

Re: HTTP error 500

here's the relevant part from a test code i've been running to sort out this problem. it does pretty much the same as the original one, except for the facts that this one is simplified, and it uses GET instead of POST, but gives the same error.. -- my ($ua, $req, $res); $

Re: HTTP error 500

Thanks all, but i got it. I installed the script on a different server, and it works just fine. Is it possible that NetFirms who hosted me is blocking HTTP requests in some way? or mybe there's another problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL

RE: Cookie INfo

You also might want some background on the HTTP header field for Set-Cookie - sort of behind the scenes of what the CGI module does. I'd suggest some research for "RFC 2109" and "http set-cookie". I found this helpful to understand the simple cookie header-field syntax, separate from the CGI met

Variable passing

Hello all, I've written a cgi page whose form I've set up to open another window. I'm having problems getting an input variable to pass from the originating page to the page that's being opened. I've included some snippits from my code below. I can't even get it to work in this simple example. Ca

RE: Variable passing

Hi Stephen, In this particular example, you're merely using the onClick event of the form button to open a window and point it to sample2.pl For this particular case, I would actually create a series of links on the first page (instead of a form) and make those links open a popup and send data t
