LWP::Simple Protocol scheme not supported

[neil.shadrach]

LWP::Simple is working fine one one machine but on another one it fails
as below.
What might be wrong/missing?

# perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://directory.intra.company.com"'
501 Protocol scheme '' is not supported
<URL:http://directory.intra.company.com>

Probably need SSL support for LWP.

Try:

telnet directory.intra.company.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0


And see if it's redirecting to https.

I'm surprised there isn't an 'https' there. If you search the Internet
for that error, you'll learn both how to find the answer to these things
next time and what's needed to fix it. Or you could simply go to the
following:

A similar UserAgent call from the same machine works:
perl -MLWP::UserAgent -e 'my $ua=LWP::UserAgent->new;my
$r=$ua->get("http://directory.intra.company.com");print
"",($r->is_success?"OK".$r->content:"Failed".$r->status_line),"\n";'

The telnet result looks ok ( to me ):

Connected to directory.intra.company.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 16:49:30 GMT
....


Also the same LWP::Simple call works from a different machine.

I'm still puzzled

What might be wrong/missing?

What is different between the two machines? OS? Versions of Perl,
of LWP, ...?

The solution was to set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable to an empty
string
perl -MLWP::Simple -e '$ENV{"HTTP_PROXY"}="";getprint
"http://directory.intra.company.com"'
