Getting read timeout error while fetching URL thru LWP

[Prad]

Hi,

I am trying to fetch some URLs using LWP, but keep getting read
timeout error at times.

Here is what I am doing.

Foreach my $url (@urls) {
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(timeout => 300, agent => 'Mozilla/5.0',
);
my $req = new HTTP::Request POST => '$url' ;

$req->content("...");

my $content;
if ($res->is_success)
{
$content= $res->content;
}
else
{
use Data:umper;
print "Request : " ,Dumper $req;
print "Response : " ,Dumper $res;
die "Could not get content : Message : " , $res->message;
}
}

The loop runs and works fine for 10-15 urls, and then dies with the
error : read timeout at d:\perllib\URLBatch.pm

It doesn't dies consistently at the same URL. If I try to view the URL
in browser, the URL shows up fine, and well before 300 seconds (the
timeout).

I can't figure out, what am I doing wrong.

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

The output from the Dumper statements is below.

Thanks,
