| Subject: | o2 (aka genie) login url has changed, so Genie.pm no longer works. Fix for Solaris 8. |
PLATFORM
--------
Solaris 8 (sparc)
MODULES
-------
Net::SMS::Web $VERSION=0.009
Net::SMS::Genie $VERSION=0.012
PROBLEM
-------
The login URL on the O2 website has been moved to a secure connection - https://gordon.genie.co.uk/login/mblogin so Genie.pm no longer works - even after changing $LOGIN_URL.
REASON
------
The standard LWP::UserAgent module does not handle https GET requests.
HOW TO FIX
----------
1. Download/Install OpenSSL 0.9.6 from www.sunfreeware.com
2. Download Crypt::SSLeay v0.4.5 perl module, which tweaks LWP::UserAgent to accept https requests.
AOK Hopefully!
Cheers,
Ivan Zidek.
