It's simple code but I got 400 URL must be absolute and it says it's a Internal response

sisapinusa · Dec 7, 2005

Hello,
I'm perl beginner.
It's quite simple question.

I'm testing below code:

$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => '/performers/ HTTP/1.1');
$req->header(Host => 'kihong.dev003.ent');
$res = $ua->simple_request($req);

but only I got this:

400 (Bad Request) URL must be absolute
Content-Type: text/plain
Client-Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2005 22:33:22 GMT
Client-Warning: Internal response

400 URL must be absolute

It says it's "internal response", that means it's from perl module
itself.

As you can see in my code, I need to send this HTTP header

GET /performers/ HTTP/1.1
Host: kihong.dev003.ent

So I coded in C language same thing for test, then of course it works
fine.
What's wrong with me? Isn't it simple header?

Please help me out, it's my first step, but I got stuck ;;

Thank you.

RTFM:
$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.example.com/');

I'm testing below code:

$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => '/performers/ HTTP/1.1');
$req->header(Host => 'kihong.dev003.ent');

That's *not* how the docs say to do that. The example given in the HTTP::
Request docs is this:

$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.example.com/');

Don't micro-manage the process. HTTP::Request knows what version of HTTP it
wants to use, and how to split the URL up so that the path and hostname will
appear where they're supposed to.

Thank you guys very much.
But there is one more strange.

I tried below line, and it works find.
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://kihong.dev003.ent/performers
HTTP/1.1');

I got HTTP below header as I expected
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily

But if I try below line, it doesn't work.
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET =>
'http://kihong.dev003.ent/performers');

I got below HTTP.

Only the different is, HTTP/1.1 string. I took me some time to find
out.
But I want to know why. Is it Zeus server problem? or..

If you guys have any idea, pleaaase let me know..
Please...

Thanks you

You must think that you can just keep on making stuff up until it works.

Note that the string " HTTP/1.1" in your request does *not* specify the
protocol to use.

I got HTTP below header as I expected
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: Zeus/4.3
Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2005 21:53:18 GMT

It appears that the correct URL is

http://kihong.dev003.ent/performers/

The trailing slash matters.

But I want to know why. Is it Zeus server problem? or..

Since you haven't told us the correct URL, we cannot observe how the
server behaves.

In the absence of any concrete information, it is a safe bet to assume
that you are doing something wrong.

Whining and pleas rarely elicit sympathy, but mainly serve to annoy
people.
