Re: WWW::Mechanize - Could not connect to a server

in reply to WWW::Mechanize - Could not connect to a server

Are you behind a proxy?

If you are, WWW::Mechanize respects your $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} environment variable - you could try setting that in your program to whatever your browser is set to.

Update: Just checked the Mech FAQ, How to use mech through a proxy might be of interest, too

I Don't know how to check whether my system uses Proxy, through Perl. because when I tried to `print $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} , "\n";` [download] Prints nothing. But I could see a IP address set in Internet Explorer. Can I use that Ip as follows in my perl code ? `$ENV{HTTP_PROXY} = "xx.xx.xx.xx:<port_number>";` [download] I am Sorry, if this questions annoy you. hmmm ....let me think what did I said	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It's been a while since I've tried to mech from inside a proxy. (Yes, I've just verbized the short name for WWW::Mechanize). Give that a shot, or try following the other suggestions frm the FAQ, for which you've already got the link above. If that fails (and I don't see how, since now you've confirmed you're behind a proxy) there are some other troubleshooting steps you can try near the end of the Mech FAQ, including checking `$mech->status` after every attempt to `get` something. --chargrill `s*lil; $=join'',sort split q; s;.;grr; &&s+(.(.)).+$2$1+; $; = qq-$_-;s,.,ahc,;$,.=chop for split q,,,reverse;print for($,,$;,$,$/)` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
