In an attempt to run a perl based web-application on Windows using Cygwin with Apache, I experience difficulties requesting content using the LWP module.
The overall installation of Cygwin and the additional modules seems to be fine, since the call of the specific cgi-script from the command line works. Calling the cgi-script from within the browser I receive the following message: "Can't connect to www.crossdesktop.de:80 (Bad protocol 'tcp')" In my opinion, the difference between a call from the command line and a call by the browser may be the uid:gid being set differently. Therefore, I suppose a rights problem to appear here. In order to make sure user and group are set equally, in apache's httpd.conf I set user and group to the user and group I am in interactive mode. Unfortunately, the problem remains. As principally, the whole system environment seems to be setup working, I come to ask this question in the round. Can someone help? Does someone have a similar experience?
