HTTP Request from PT

From my PT's I'm generating various XML bits and pieces for proprietary rendition engine.

After all is said and and done I want an Engine to rebuild affected components. To do that,
I have to call Category/Type related asp with certain parameters.

So, from my template I do something like the following (URL is really built dynamically)

# Get HTML Content
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(
'GET',
'http://server/iw/cci/meta/no-injection/iw-mount/default/main/.../WORKAREA/wa/.../abc.asp?country=CA&lang=fr');
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $response = $ua->request($request);

# Validate / process $response->content

Issue is that since it's executed by some TST process on a server side all I get back is login HTML, no surprise here.
Now, from %ENV I have (local) session ID, http cookie and all that.

How can I force TST to go thru login with local authentication or some centarl (server side) authentication ?
Is it even possible ? I understand that I can perhaps do it using OpenAPI, it looks like overkill though

Suggestions, anyone ?
Thanks in advance

I think what you can do is access iwproxy directly on port 81. Just change your URL to something like http://server:81/iw-mount/default/main...abc.asp?foo=bar&bar=foo and that should do what you want.

Thanks a lot Chuckles !

That indeed did it.

I've actually tried the (almost) URL u've suggested and then modified it to
to "meta/no-injection" form to get rid of SCE injection. What I did not
realize was that a direct call to virtualization server will do the trick.

Thanks again.
