note Anonymous Monk <p>Hi</p> <p>OK, long story short...I think the url should have <i>http</i> in front of it and LWP just works with what it's got and doesn't complain.</p> <p>I tried again using WWW::Mechanize and it demanded an absolute url. I put in http - it then said it couldn't deal with https, and instructed me to install LWP-Protocol-https.</p> <p>I went back to LWP and fed it the absolute url, and it resolved properly giving me the forwarded url as it ought. Out of interest I removed LWP-Protocol-https and that didn't seem to bother it.</p> <p>Thanks for the help</p> <p>MorayJ</p> 1003678 1003678 8
