I don't see the call to http_connect() in this code that you posted. What i would do, and this is not very scientific at all, is simply add a line of code (or two) before the call to SUPER::configure() in the http_connect() method (if you can):

# untested ... look up the docs for caller()
use Data::Dumper;
warn Dumper { self => $self, caller => [ caller() ] };
