Re: Mechanize and Bypassing SSL Certificate Check

[repellent]

$ua->ssl_opts(verify_hostname => 0);

See LWP::UserAgent and search for $ua->ssl_opts.
Update: Gah. The OP was talking about WWW::Mechanize.

WWW::Mechanize passes its constructor arguments up to its parent (LWP::UserAgent). Try this:

use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(
    ssl_opts => {
        verify_hostname => 0,
    },
);

Thanks, it works. But how come this didn't work?

$mech->ssl_opts( verify_hostname => 0 );

I thought Mechanize inherited most of the methods from LWP::UserAgent.

Because if I tried this which is from LWP::UserAgent, it works fine.

$mech->timeout( 100 );

What do you mean exactly by "this didn't work"? Can you call the method ->ssl_opts on the $mech object?

After you use WWW::Mechanize; what is the value of $LWP::UserAgent::VERSION and $WWW::Mechanize::VERSION?
