Hi Monks,

A little help please. I need to write some test scripts over our company sharepoint intranet (from and to windows), so to that end I need to authenicate through NTLM. No problem, I've updated libperl-www to 5.862, and set up the following...

use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent('keep_alive' => '1');
my $url = 'http://intranet/mypage';
$ua->credentials('intranet:80', '', "domain\\user", 'pass');
my $response =$ua->get($url);
print $response->code();
[download]

The above works just fine and returns a response code of 200, groovey. However, as I'll be following links, submitting forms etc, I'd obviously much rather use Mechanize. As I beleive Mechanize is built over LWP, I don't think this should be a problem, so try the following...

use WWW::Mechanize;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new('keep_alive' => 1);

$mech->credentials('intranet:80', '', "domain\\user", 'pass');
$mech->get( 'http://intranet/mypage' );
print $mech->status();
[download]

Unfortunately, I can't get anything other than a 401 unauthorized out of this. I'm not sure how to attack this, so any advice much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
