Setting outgoing IP address in LWP::UserAgent

[ptum]

I'm new to using LWP or Mechanize against HTTPS, and having some trouble. Because I'm on a multi-homed server, I need to specify the outgoing IP Address (firewall rules associated with the port). Is there a way for me to set the outgoing IP address within a user agent? Also, I'm getting a "500 SSL negotiation failed" message even though I've set the credentials:

$ua->credentials('target_domain.tld:8080','made_up_realm_name','userid','password');

Any suggestions?

I can't answer your question concerning the outgoing IP, but SSL negotiation failed does not immideately indicate that your login failed, but rather that the encryption scheme used to transmit the credentials failed to initialize. You should consider that a type of "connection failed" errors. There can be a great number of reasons why this happens, such as missing certificate files, incorrect keys, and more. If you could provide more information on the matter we might be better positioned to shed some light on the issue.

"Yes we can" - type answers provided at LWP and LocalIP/LocalPort.

Sorry _ I don't have a multi-homed computer to try this on.
