This four line script will generate the error for me. #!/usr/bin/perl use LWP::UserAgent; $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); $ua->env_proxy; C:\temp>lwp.pl Proxy must be specified as absolute URI; '10.1.' is not at C:\temp\lwp.pl line 4 The error message is exactly the same (i.e. the 10.1. doesn't change) no matter what I set http_proxy to or if it is not set at all. Does capitalization of the http_proxy matter and if so, what's proper? Otherwise, I'm lost. -- Henry _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
