lwp-useragent

I am using LWP to download content from web pages, and I would like to limit the amount of time it waits for a page. This is accomplished in lwp like this: my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->timeout(10); $ua->get($url); And this works fine, except for whenever the timeout reaches its limit, it just dies and I can't continue on with the script! I'd really like to handle this timeout properly so that I can record that the url had a timeout and then move on to my next one. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks! LWP::Agent 's get() returns a HTTP::Response object that you can use for checking

Solved ! thanks for every help i had :) Found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8026524/how-do-i-force-lwp-to-use-cryptssleay-for-https-requests and solved my issue with use Net::SSL (); # From Crypt-SSLeay BEGIN { $Net::HTTPS::SSL_SOCKET_CLASS = "Net::SSL"; # Force use of Net::SSL $ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = 'http://10.0.3.1:3128'; } I tried a thousand different ways to connect to the URL https://sis-t.redsys.es:25443/sis/entradaXMLEntidad/ and i seem unable to get something else than a 500 error. Latest code i tried was require LWP::UserAgent; ## Code added according to Sinan Ünür s comment use Net

I tried to run this perl5 program: #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use LWP; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new('Mozilla'); $ua->credentials("test.server.com:39272", "realm-name", 'user_name', 'some_pass'); my $res = $ua->get('http://test.server.com:39272/'); print $res->content; On other hand I have HTTP::Daemon: #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use HTTP::Daemon; my $hd = HTTP::Daemon->new or die; print "Contact URL: ", $hd->url, "\n"; while (my $hc = $hd->accept) { while (my $hr = $hc->get_request) { if ($hr->method eq 'GET') { print $hr->as_string, "\n"; } } $hc->close;

I am using LWP to download content from web pages, and I would like to limit the amount of time it waits for a page. my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->timeout(10); $ua->env_proxy; $response = $ua->get("http://XML File"); $content = $response->decoded_content; The problem is that the server will occasionally deadlock (we're trying to figure out why) and the request will never succeed. Since the server thinks it is live, it keeps the socket connection open thus LWP::UserAgent's timeout value does us no good what-so-ever. What is the best way to enforce an absolute timeout on a request? Whenever
