in reply to troubleshoot ppm error?

What do you get if you type  ppm4.activestate.com:80 into your browser's url field?

    with (http://ppm4.activestate.com:80) from the browser, not getting anything. If I remove the port 80 and use only http://ppm4.activestate.com then it is redirecting into activestate website.

      , not getting anything

      Not even an error?

      When I go to that address, :80 intact, the redirect to http://code.activestate.com/ppm/ is immediate, but then there is a ~5 seconds delay before the page starts to be sent. I assume that the code at the other end is waiting for the PPM client software to send some kind of request, When it doesn't receive it, it just display a normal web page.

      I know I am behind the firewall

      Is this your own personal firewall, or your company firewall?

      If it is your personal firewall, you may need to authorise Perl to perform outbound tctip requests and receive replies.

      If it is a company firewall, you'll certainly need to contact your support people. Even if you blagged your way past it, you'd be putting your job at risk if they catch you.

      Either way, until you can reach that address manually using your browser, perl won't be able to either.

        It is company firewall. Is there any configuration file from perl where I can change it to http://ppm4.activestate.com from ( http://ppm4.activestate.com:80 )without mentioning port 80 since it was redirecting it to active state website? Will this work? Just curious how it is working for others !!!
