How can I connect to an HTTPS server using the Perl JIRA::Client::Automated module through Proxy?

[hanish_cbit]

I am new to use JIRA and REST API.Please tell me how to connect to HTTPS jira server using JIRA::Client::Automated module. I am trying to connect to jira server using below code.

use strict;
use warnings
use JIRA::Client::Automated;

my $user = 'foo';
my $pass = 'bar';
my $url = 'https://xxx.yyy.com/jira-stage/';

my $jira = JIRA::Client::Automated->new($url, $user, $pass);
my $ua = $jira->ua();
$ua->proxy('http', 'http://proxy.com:8000');
$search_results = $jira->search_issues(project in (sample), 0, 1000);
my $count = $search_results->{'total'};
print "$count";

But using the above code always gives me an 500 error saying Unable to connect. Since I am trying to connect from my Local Machine, the request is not going through Local system proxy. Please let me know how to connect through Proxy

I am able to access the same rest url using the webbrowser of my local machine. Please suggest if I am doing anything wrong.

Just change the following line

$ua->proxy('http', 'http://proxy.com:8000');

for this one

$ua->env_proxy('http_proxy');

Be aware that you might have to replace 'http_proxy' for whatever name you gave to it in you /etc/environment file.
