Try it like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -l use strict; use warnings; use HTTP::Headers; use HTTP::Request; use LWP::UserAgent; my $https_proxy; my $url = 'https://someproxy.com:80'; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( verify_hostname => 0, SSL_ca_file => 'cert.dat', ); $ua->timeout(10); $ua->agent(""); $ua->proxy( 'https', $https_proxy ); my $h = HTTP::Headers->new(); $h->proxy_authorization_basic( 'user', 'password' ); my $req = HTTP::Request->new( GET => $url ); my $res = $ua->request($req); print "header ----" . $res->headers_as_string; print "response ---" . $res->as_string;
