in reply to Help with LWP & SSL 500 Internal response error

Have you checked the server log to see what the internal error is?

    Unfortunately I don't have access to the server log. This is a internal company site that I do not manage - I am just trying to access specific pages of the site, but it requires an HTTPS connection.
      Error: 500 Status read failed: Unknown error Content-Type: text/plain Client-Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 15:19:46 GMT Client-Warning: Internal response

      This error was generated on the client side by LWP::UserAgent (see last line), not by the server. It seems the communication with the HTTPS server failed. Are you sure your LWP installation supports HTTPS? Try connecting to https://www.google.com/ or similar.

      Maybe the HTTPS server uses a self-signed certificate? (But that should give a different error message ...)
