I have inherited a web site, and am upgrading from Redhat 7 to Fedora. I am having problems with a HTTP::Request. I have narrowed it down to the following.

I create a small test script which posts to another site and gets the resutling html. This works from a shell prompt. [host 192.168.0.1 posts to 192.168.0.2 and reads response]

When I execute the same script through the browser, I get the error
500 Can't connect to 192.168.0.1:80 (Permission denied)

I am assuming this is an issue with the security enhancements. Does anyone know where to start?

If client dot 1 is suppose to be connecting to server dot 2 then possibly the browser is connecting to the wrong computer, your error message says permission is denied on the dot 1 computer which should not even be the server ??? Maybe more clarification is needed.

Sorry, I had it backwards. I 0.2 is posting to 0.1 and getting the persmission denied from the 0.1 post.

Running from a shell, I have no problems, get the expected HTML. The last time I had a similar problem (writing to a file, permission denied from the httpd process) it was a security issue resolved with chcon.
