400 (Bad Request) URL must be absolute

[Wes Preston]

I am getting the following error reported in my browser when I try to run
the script shown below. It sounds more like an Apache problem, but my other
scripts work just fine.

"400 (Bad Request) URL must be absolute"

The URL I put in the browser is: http://192.168.1.2/cgi-bin/testLWP.cgi

testLWP.cgi
-----------------------------
#!c:/Program Files/Perl/bin/perl

use strict;

# Create a user agent object

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("MyApp/0.1 ");

my $document = '192.169.1.1//status.htm';

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $document);
$req->header('Accept' => 'text/html');
$req->authorization_basic('blah', 'blah');

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $ua->request($req)->as_string;
------------------------------------------------

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

- Wes

you need an absolute URL there.
