I am having problems getting LWP to post data to a URL that requires
authentication. Here is the syntax I am using:
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(timeout => 1800);
$ua->credentials("localhost:80", "Identification", "user",
"password");
my $response = $ua->request(
POST 'http://localhost/some/cgi',
Content_Type => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
Content => 'foo=bar',
);
print $response->as_string unless $response->is_success;
With every request I am getting:
Content-Type: text/plain
Client-Date: Sun, 05 Sep 2004 13:08:55 GMT
Client-Warning: Internal response
500 read timeout
But if I do the reuqest myself, with the exact same URL, it works
fine, so it is not my local CGI.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to enable some debug flag so I
can see more of what LWP is doing (the auth headers and whatnot) ?

I got this error message when I use Apache 1.3.31; however,
the same script runs fine on Apache 1.3.29.
Anyone else has the same experience?

Please log in for more thread options I would suggest trying Authentication other way, e.g using MIME::Base64
instead of $ua->credentials
use MIME::Base64;
$encoded = encode_base64('username:password');
my $res = $ua->post('http://localhost/some/cgi',
'Authorization' => "Basic ".$encoded,
'Content-Type' => ..... ,
Content => ....);
or
my $res = $ua->request( POST '....) will also works just fine.

This is a great suggestion. It does work for both apache 1.3.29 and 1.3.31.
But I still wonder why the $ua->credentials does not work for me.
It works on 1.3.29

Please log in for more thread options Ok. Now I am getting a 401 Authorization Required reply.
But I am 100% positive I am submitting a valid username and password.
