Help with a proxy server

[msjfc615]

I am trying to write a script to access a site and autocomplete the forms. The script is able to work when I am not behind a proxy server. How might I go about bypassing a proxy server with perl

Can you access the site when you're behind the proxy?

Yes I can get to the site through IE and such but I can not ping the site. Whenever I try to ping the site it tells me request timed out

I once had the same problem and solved it by unsetting "use proxy server" checkbox on IE.
It may work, depending on your network servers settings.

It might not be a proxy, but the 'fault' of a firewall ...
How're you getting the data ... LWP?

Thanks for all the advice. However I was given the wrong address to the proxy server. Once I was given the right one I was able to connect when I set the correct proxy using HTTP:ROXY

Thanks again
