HI,

	I encountered a problem. I wrote a script to automate the login to
a CERN server:

   my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
   my $req = new HTTP::Request GET => 'http://www.ei.org/village/';
   $req->header(Authorization => 'Basic ' . 
MIME::Base64::encode("$user:$passwd",''));
   print $ua->request($req)->as_string;


It works fine for the first time every day (returns the HTML file). But
not for the rest of a day (alreay auth.??) and returns:


--- HTTP::Response=HASH(0x2570d4) ---
RC: 200 (OK)
Message: Document follows
 
Date: Wed, 02 Apr 1997 06:57:50 GMT
Server: CERN/3.0A
Content-Length: 5535
Content-Type: text/html
Client-Date: Wed, 02 Apr 1997 06:54:52 GMT
 
-----------------------------------


	What's the problem? I would like to know when the login timeout?

Thanks  in advance,
