Re: Proxy server

Check out the WWW::Mechanize FAQ. It looks like you are correct, my module as written won't work behind a proxy. If you are up to modifying the module you've installed, go to 'sub getyahoodata'. Right after the line:

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

add the line recommended in the faq. For example:

$q->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://proxy.example.com:8000/');

Let me know if that works. If so, I'll address this issue in the next update. Kirk Bocek

Re: Proxy server

Did you add the proxy line? What is the output of

$q->response()

and

$q->status()

after you issue the retrieve command? Kirk Bocek

Re: Proxy server

Okay, Prakshee, I've uploaded version 0.13 of my module. I don't know how long it will take to show up on whatever mirror you are using. This adds a 'proxy' option to each query object. Set it before issuing the 'retrieve' command. For example:

use Finance::QuoteOptions; my $q=Finance::QuoteOptions->new('QQQQ'); $q->proxy('http://proxy.example.com:8000/'); die 'Retrieve Failed' unless $q->retrieve;

Please let me know if this works for you. Kirk Bocek

Re: Proxy server

Whoops! Do *not* use 0.13. I've uploaded 0.14 which fixes a problem. Kirk Bocek
