[Archanak]

Hi,

I use perl LWP to connect online database and data is saved in files.

while trying to retrieve i got the below error but data is saved in files.

Here is the error.

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://192.168.1.49/cgi-bin/pubmed_abstract/get.cgi

The following error was encountered:

* Read Timeout

The system returned:

[No Error]

A Timeout occurred while waiting to read data from the network. The network or server may be down or congested. Please retry your request.

Is there any solution?

please tell me any suggestions!!!

with regards

Can you show us your script so we can have a better idea of what it is trying to do?

Hi,

What does this error mean?
sometimes it works and sometimes not why?

Here is the code:

 
#!/usr/bin/perl
 
use CGI;
 
use LWP;
 
use DBI;
 
use CGI::Fast qw(:standard);
 
use LWP::UserAgent;
 
$ua=new LWP::UserAgent;
 
$ua->proxy(['http','ftp'],'http://karchana:[e-mail]:3128');
 
$fetch="http://www.xyz.com";//example of an url to which i am connecting
 
sleep(5);
 
$res=$ua->get($fetch);
 
$result=$res->content;
 
open(FH,">$file") || die "cannot open\n"; //saving the results in file
 
chmod 0777,"$file";
 
print FH $result;
 
close(FH);
 
 

I have one html page in form action i have given this action(/cgi-bin/pubmed_abstract/get.cgi)

This is the output i got!!

Well, being a private IP address (192.168.....), that machine is presumably on your own network. Is the machine up and running? Can you connect to it and get to the URL? That error is saying that it cannot.
