[Soaplite-devel] using SOAP::Lite client utilizing firewall proxy

[Sean C. <sea...@gm...>]

We have a firewall and the preferred method is to go through a proxy to get
out. I have tried this:
$api->transport->proxy(http => $proxy); which yielded: FATAL ERROR:: proxy:
transport protocol not specified

I have also tried other variations (as found at
http://cookbook.soaplite.com/ and also in the SOAP::Lite PODs) which get the
same result.
 Also, I have tried: $ENV{'HTTP_proxy'} = $proxy; which got: FATAL ERROR::
500 Connect failed: connect: Connection refused; Connection refused at...
 so that appears to not even be setting it (our firewall doesn't seem to be
acknowledging the proxy when I use this). The admins have tested out the
firewall to check that it will actually pass through to the correct
endpoints and they can't see the script even hitting the proxy.
I have been searching around and I haven't found any examples where someone
has tried this and succeeded, so I'm not sure what the root cause is. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean
