Mojo::useragent SSL failure

Question

i am using Mojo::Useragent to fetch some site behind a proxy which defined using HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY

below an example of the code :

my $rs = $ua->insecure(1)->get($mysite) 
if($rs->res->is_success) {
    .....
} else {
    print "Problem with fetching $mysite \n";
    print $rs->res->error->{message};
}

I am getting this error:

SSL connect attempt failed error:14077419:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert access denied

While when i am using curl on the same machine I get the results as expected.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

My first guess is that your proxy is refusing to let you through. How did you configured the proxy of Mojo::UserAgent ? Do you have some code for that ? — GMB, Dec 11 '18 at 17:33
i am using those environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY,http_proxy,HTTPS_PROXY which working well with curl but mojo::useragent return the error mentioned above — jsor, Dec 11 '18 at 17:57

Form the SSL error, it looks like your network is actively refusing to let you through.

Defining environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY is fine, however you need to tell Mojo::UserAgent to use them (unlike cURL, that automatically looks them up by default).

Add this line to your code before you run the query :

$ua->proxy->detect;

See the Mojo::UserAgent::Proxy documentation.

If you are looking for a pure Perl solution without using environment variables, you can configure the proxy manually, directly in your code, like :

$ua->proxy
      ->http('http://127.0.0.1:8080')
      ->https('http://127.0.0.1:8080');
