Why can't I fetch www.google.com with Perl'

I cant seem to get this peice of code to work:

    $self->{_current_page} = $href;
    my $response = $ua->get($href);
    my $responseCode = $response->code;
    if( $responseCode ne "404" ) {
       my $content = LWP::Simple->get($href);
       die "get failed: " . $href if (!defined $content);
    }

Will return error: get failed: http://www.google.com

The full code is as follows:

Still not working with redirect fixed.

回答1:

You should examine the response code to see what's happening (you're already checking for 404s). I get a 302 - a redirect.

For example:

die "get failed ($responseCode): " . $href if (!defined $content);

Resulting message:

get failed (302): http://www.google.com at goog.pl line 20.

回答2:

A couple of thoughts.

1/ You seems to be using the string comparison operators (le, ne) to compare numbers. You should use the numeric comparison operators (<=, !=) instead.

2/ The value you get back from the LWP::UserAgent::get call is an HTTP::Response object. Judicious use of that class's "is_foo" method might make your code a bit cleaner.

I don't know if either of these will solve your problem. But they'll improve the quality of your code.

回答3:

Here's your problem:

my $content = LWP::Simple->get($href);

That passes the string "LWP::Simple" as the first argument to 'get'. You want:

my $content = LWP::Simple::get($href);

Check your SELinux settings.

SELINUX enabled systems will not allow an outgoing connection from a web agent (httpd).

This page can tell you more about SELinux and HTTPD settings: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/SelinuxBooleans

Enable outbound web connections from Apache in a Perl script:

# setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
