perl proxy http lwp::simple & lwp::useragent	Can't Post

Hi,

How do I use a proxy?
I tried all the commented-out methods, and each returns the same mistake?

Code

Useless use of addition (+) in void context at ./a.pl line 35. 
Can't connect to 118.97.130.10:8080 (timeout) 
 
LWP::Protocol::http::Socket: connect: timeout at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 41.

Code

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use warnings; 
use LWP::UserAgent; 
use LWP::Simple; 
 
# 118.97.130.10:8080 
# proxy type HTTP 
 
#$ua->env_proxy(); 
#$ENV{HTTP_PROXY} = 'http://118.97.130.10:8080'; 
 
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; 
 
#my %proxy = ( host => 'http://118.97.130.10:8080' ); 
#use LWP::Simple qw(mirror RC_OK RC_NOT_MODIFIED $ua); 
#$ua->proxy(http => "$proxy{host}") if (defined $proxy{host}); 
 
 
$ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1'); 
$ua->timeout(15); 
#$ua->proxy('http','http://118.97.130.10:8080'); 
#$ua->proxy(['http'] => 'http://118.97.130.10:8080'); 
$ua->timeout(15); 
 
$res = $ua->get('http://www.google.com/search?q=perl'); #&start=10 
my @msg = $res->content; 
print @msg; 
print "\n";

Hi,

Your code looks ok to me, specifically the $ua->proxy method you tried.

I can't see why you are receiving a "Useless use of addition (+) in void context" warning either, perhaps you ran a different version of your code?

I see that it is being reported that your request is timing out, it is taking too long to process your request and erroring fifteen seconds as per your defined timeout. Is your proxy a dud?

I tested a similar code using a different proxy and url without issue.

http://demo.massweb.co.uk/lwp/proxy.pl

Code

#! /usr/bin/perl 
use strict; 
use warnings; 
use LWP::UserAgent; 
 
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/; # remove if not in web environment.  
print "content-type: text/plain\n\n"; # remove if not in web environment.  
 
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; 
 
$ua->agent( 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1' );  
$ua->timeout( 10 );  
$ua->proxy( 'https', 'https://static-209-170-151-14.alwaysdedicated.net' );  
 
my $response = $ua->get( 'http://demo.massweb.co.uk/index.pl' ); # 'http://www.google.com/search?q=perl' 
  
if ( $response->is_success )  
{ 
    print $response->decoded_content; 
} 
else  
{ 
    die $response->status_line; 
}

Regards,

Chris
