> is it possible that https & proxy servers are not handled yet ?
Proxy servers and https urls are handled by LWP. $agent->env_proxy(); will load the proxy settings from the environment. Consult the LWP::UserAgent documentation on how to do proxy authentication. https urls will need an SSL module installed, most likely Net::SSLeay.
Just for your information https links work fine for me.
WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent. See the docs in LWP::UserAgent for information about how to do proxies.
