Re: HTTP proxy authentication

OK, I did a lot of searching in the archives and tried the following:

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

use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->proxy(['http', 'https'],
'http://x52635:[email protected]:1080');

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(CONNECT => 'https://mail.yahoo.com/');
my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success) {
    print $res->as_string;
}

else {
    print "Failed: ", $res->status_line, "\n";
}
================================================
This returns:

But, I do not get any content.  If only I change CONNECT to GET,
I get:

So, the culprit was I was that CONNECT was not being sent.
But, how do I get the content?
