Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to get LWP to work against an IIS server configured with NTLM authentication. When NTLM authentication is turned off on the server, the code work fine, so I assume that the only problem here is the NTLM authentication.</p> <p>So far, I have the following:</p> <pre><code>my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => "whatever", timeout => $timeout, keep_alive => 1); $ua->credentials('hostname:80', '', $username, $password); my $hdr = HTTP::Headers->new("Content-Type" => "text/xml; charset=UTF-8", "SOAPAction" => "\"whatever\""); my $req = HTTP::Request->new("POST" => $url, $hdr, encode_utf8($post)); $res = $ua->request($req); </code></pre> <p>If I turn on debugging, I get the following messages:</p> <pre><code>LWP::UserAgent::new: () LWP::UserAgent::request: () LWP::UserAgent::send_request: POST http://hostname LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied LWP::Protocol::http::request: () LWP::Protocol::http::request: Keep the http connection to hostname:80 LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Unauthorized LWP::Authen::Ntlm::authenticate: authenticate() has been called Use of uninitialized value in exists at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/LWP/UserAgent.pm line 560.

The documentation for <a href="https://metacpan.org/module/MIME%3a%3aBase64" rel="nofollow"><code>MIME::Base64</code></a> says that the encode function will croak with <code>Wide character in subroutine entry</code> if $bytes contains characters with code above 255.</p> <p>Am I missing something essential here, or could this be a bug in <a href="https://metacpan.org/module/Authen%3a%3aNTLM" rel="nofollow"><code>Authen::NTLM</code></a>?</p>
