del.icio.us integration

del.icio.us provides a feature to post daily link summaries to any blog that supports the MetaWeblog API. I too am unable to get this feature to work. Here's how it should work:

1. Log in to del.icio.us
2. Open the URL del.icio.us/settings/<username>/daily
3. Click add a new thingy
4. Fill out the form with these values
? job_name: whatever, doesn't matter
? out_name: your MSN Spaces alias, e.g. tom
? out_pass: your Mobile publishing secret word
? out_url: https://storage.msn.com/storageservices/MetaWeblog.rpc
? out_time: the hour of the day in GMT you want the links published, e.g. 7 corresponds to midnight in Seattle
? out_blog_id: leave blank (I think; could be part of my problem)
? out_cat_id: leave blank
5. Click Submit Query

This should produce a new blog entry with a summary of links posted to your del.icio.us account in the last 24 hours.

With this setup for my MSN Space, I get this error result:

results:Running at Sun Jun 4 07:17:15 2006 GMT<br>Fetched 1 items.<br>posting error was: 500 Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket" <br>

Any idea why?

Thanks.
