Subject: [patch] Authenticating proxies & LWP


Hi,

I've been playing around with LWP::Simple over the past week
to snarf historical stock quotes from Yahoo for tax reporting.

Pleased with my feeble effort I wanted to share it with my
co-workers who may also need it and discovered the joys of
LWP and authenticating proxies.

Yes, doable but quite messy.  A colleage lamented the fact that
LWP::Simple (he's into one-liners) is not usable with auth proxies.

Therefore, having a few free cycles, I taught UserAgent how to
deal with this.  My version extracts the userinfo() portion of
the proxy URI.

I hope you find this patch useful.  I am by no means a Perl hacker,
so feel free to modify to taste.

Usage:

# export http_proxy="http://proxyuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port"
