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; [download] 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, planetscape	[reply] [d/l] [select]

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;
[download]

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.

HTH,
