Well, I don't know about https:/www.math.gatech.edu/, but I do have a Yahoo mail account I tested it on.

While there are instructions here on "Recording SSL sessions" using HTTP::Recorder, I was unable to successfully record anything useful when accessing http://mail.yahoo.com.

My proxy script:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    # myHTTPProxy.pl
    # Run script under Cygwin; use Netscape for browser
    #   Goto Tools | Options... | General | Connection Settings...
    #   Check "Manual proxy configuration"
    #   HTTP Proxy = localhost
    #   Port = 8080
    #   Click "OK"
    #
    #   Also, see Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook, pp. 135-138
    #

    use HTTP::Proxy;
    use HTTP::Recorder;

    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new();

    # create a new HTTP::Recorder object
    my $agent = new HTTP::Recorder( showwindow => 1 );

    # set the log file (optional)
    $agent->file("/tmp/myfile");

    # set HTTP::Recorder as the agent for the proxy
    $proxy->agent( $agent );

    # start the proxy
    $proxy->start();

    1;

complains of the following:

Can't locate object method "host" via package "URI::_generic" at /usr/
+lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/HTTP/Recorder.pm line 191.
[download]

which has not been remedied by upgrading URI::_generic.

So, I'd have to say your best bet is either to contact HTTP::Recorder's author, leira, or hope some other Monk comes along who knows the answer.

Sorry I can't be of further help, although if I do find something in future, I'll return and update this node.

HTH,

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
