Problem with https post using LWP

Hi all,

I'm trying send an https post:

my $url = "https://some.secure.server/secure.dll";

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

# assemble the request
#
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST => "$url");
$request->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$request->content($content);

# send the request and get the result
#
my $result = $ua->request($request);

print $result->as_string;

But I'm getting this error:

501 (Not Implemented) Protocol scheme 'https' is not
supported

Looking on cpan, it looks like you do an https post
the same way as a http post, but I must be missing
something.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Denzil

Have you read:

http://search.cpan.org/src/GAAS/lib....803/README.SSL

And do you have an appropriate SSL interface installed?

Hi Wiggins,

Nope, that's all news to me! Thanks for the help, I'll
look into it.
