How to tell WWW::Mechanize to work with HTTPS proxy? I have this code:

use WWW::Mechanize;

print "WWW::Mechanize: ", $WWW::Mechanize::VERSION, "\n";
print "LWP : ", $LWP::UserAgent::VERSION, "\n";

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

$mech->proxy( [ 'http', 'https' ], "https://204.228.129.46:8080/" );

$mech->add_handler("request_send",  sub { shift->dump; return });
$mech->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });

$mech->get("http://people.iu.edu/");

and below is result I have:

WWW::Mechanize: 1.73
LWP : 6.06
GET http://people.iu.edu/
Accept-Encoding: gzip
User-Agent: WWW-Mechanize/1.73

• 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.
