Re: NTLM authentication fails with WWW:Mechanize, fine with LWP::UserAgent

[Anonymous Monk]

Try upgrading both LWP and WWW::Mechanize, and try turning on debugging

[reasonablekeith]

Both are up-to-date via activestate's ppms.

I'm not sure how to turn on debugging though, I've tried

use LWP::Debug qw(+);

but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Then they are not up-to-date (at least WWW::Mechanize isn't up to date, the version on activestate's repository is ancient).

I'm not sure how to turn on debugging though, I've tried

perldoc LWP::Debug

use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->default_header('Accept-Encoding' => scalar HTTP::Message::decodab
+le());

$ua->add_handler("request_send",  sub { shift->dump; return });
$ua->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });

$ua->get("http://www.example.com");

I realise activestate is going to be behind, but I'm a bit tied on that one, with no access to a compiler, (the machine I'm on is a restricted build).

The debug doesn't really help either, it's only showing the one unauthorised response, just with a bit more detail, ie full headers, but nothing I can interpret as a problem
