Re: PerlMonksChat module via proxy

in reply to PerlMonksChat module via proxy

PerlMonks module does not handle proxies, so you need to edit the PerlMonks.pm file, and add a $self->{ua}->env_proxy() call in the new() method, like this :

sub new {
  my $class=shift;
  my $self={};
  $self->{ua}=new LWP::UserAgent;
  $self->{ua}->env_proxy();
  bless $self, $class;
  return $self;
}
[download]

Then, define your proxy by setting the environment variable http_proxy before launching the client :

http_proxy=http://your.proxy.net:8001
export http_proxy
[download]

(LWP::UserAgent)
