Help testing post response

[Jim Simpson]

I'm trying to test a post response as follows:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
my $csvresponse = $ua->post($https_downmngrform, [ "$https_name1" =>
"$https_value2", "$https_name2" => "$https_value1", 'Download' => 'Download
Data' ] );
if ($csvresponse->is_success())
{
print "is_success" . ", " ;
}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
My problem is that it indicates success even though the result is not what I
want. It also indicates success when I substitute a nonsensical string for
one of the values. Can someone suggest what might be a problem.

Thanks,

Jim

"$https_value2", "$https_name2" => "$https_value1", 'Download' => 'Download

Data' ] );

perldoc -q vars

What's wrong with always quoting "$vars"?

if ($csvresponse->is_success())
{
print "is_success" . ", " ;
}

The resource you are talking to isn't playing nicely. (ie. it is broken)

Tad,
I don't understand your response. Could you be a little more descriptive for
me?

You do not need any of those underlined quote characters:

my $csvresponse = $ua->post($https_downmngrform, [ $https_name1 =>
$https_value2, $https_name2 => $https_value1, ...


will work fine.

"perldoc -q" is how you look up a Perl Frequently Asked Question.

I don't understand your response. Could you be a little more descriptive for
me?

If the resource that you are communicating with reports success
when it failed, then it contains a bug, ie. it is broken.
