Re: Test Availability of HTTPS Web Application?

[IlyaM]

++Kanji for LWP::UserAgent example. But Perl is TMTOWTDI. Here example which does similar thing via HTTP::WebTest.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use HTTP::WebTest;

my $url = shift;

my $wt = HTTP::WebTest->new;
# runs test and generates test report
$wt->run_tests([ { url => $url } ]);

Note that you still have to install Crypt::SSL to get 'https' to work.

I installed prerequisites TermReadKey-2.20, File-Temp-0.12, and Time-HiRes-01.20, but make test fails at 50% (below). Any ideas? Thanks, Beau

As I understand you are trying last "stable" release of HTTP::WebTest. It's tests rely on avilability of external web sites so they can fail if there any networking problem. Probably there is no actually any problems. Anyway you may try latest "development" version (avialable from http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/I/IL/ILYAM/HTTP-WebTest-1.99_06.tar.gz) . It is going to become new "official stable" release very soon so don't be scared trying "beta".

Moreover my example will work only with latest "development" version becauses it uses new API.

Will do. Thank you for your assurances re "beta" AND for all your help. Beau
