Re: HTTP proxy authentication

Hi,

I am using the following code to access a site as described in your example:
(replacing <xxxxx> with the values)

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$|++;

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp', 'https'], 'http://<MyUsername>:<MyPassword>@<
MyProxy>:1080');

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://www.helsinki.fi/');
my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success) {
print $res->as_string;
}
else {
print "Failed: ", $res->status_line, "\n";
}

output is :
Failed: 400 Bad Request

please guide,
TIA,
Prateek
