Re: LWP::Simple request through a proxy

[dave_the_m]

Well, the code looks plausible, except that the value in $x should be the URL of the proxy server, while the argument to get() should be the URL of the site you want to get from.

is this better ? :

require LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Simple;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->timeout(5);
$ua->cookie_jar({ file => "$ENV{'HOME'}/lwp_cookies.dat" });
$ua->proxy('http', "http://google.com");
$content = get("http://flash.udaff.com/");
die "Couldn't get it!" unless defined $content;
print "Done\n";

google.com is not a proxy server.
