Re^2: Undeleteable header in WWW::Mechanize

It took some searching, but I found that it's added by Net::HTTP at the request of LWP::Protocol::http. You can change the default by using

@LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = (
   SendTE => 0,
);
[download]

You can use local to limit the scope of the change if you desire.

{
   local @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = (
      SendTE => 0,
   );

   ...do the request...
}
[download]

Untested.

works like a charm. I feel pretty stupid now, that'd have been the last place I would have looked. That also fixed an issue with the Connection header being set to "keep-alive, close" since it's possible to set a proper Keep-Alive header like this: `local @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = ( SendTE => 0, KeepAlive => 1 );` [download] Thank You!
