Hello Folks,

I am new to LWP and I am trying to get the content of a page by passing some
parameters to the host. But the host returns "301 Moved Temporarily" page.
Can somebody help me to get this going. What methods do I need to call? And
what could be the parameters?

PS:- The site that I am sending the request is a "https" site.

~Thanks
Anand

When you get a 3xx response, you also get a Location: header that
specifies where the content has moved to, e.g.:

Location: http://alternate-site.example.com/directory/foo

Usually, LWP takes care of this internally. In exotic situations, you
might have to examine the contents of the Location: header yourself.

Read the docs for LWP and the response object:

perldoc LWP::UserAgent
perldoc HTTP::Response
