Hello.

I'm looking for a way to get "real" outgoing headers, generated by LWP (I need them for logging/debugging purpose).

I already read few articles about related questions here, but that's not solve my issue, including this one:
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=464442 - how to validate lwp::useragent request?

lwp_test_v1.pl

#!/usr/bin/env perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
$| = 1;    


my $url = 'http://example.com/';

use LWP::UserAgent;

{
    no warnings 'once';
    @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = ( SendTE => 0, KeepAlive =
+> 1, PeerHTTPVersion => "1.1" );
}

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $response = $ua->get("http://example.com");

warn "[Headers Out v1]\n", $response->request()->as_string(), "\n\n";
warn "[Headers In]:\n", $response->headers()->as_string, "\n\n";
[download]

lwp_test_v2.pl

#!/usr/bin/env perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
$| = 1;    


my $url = 'http://example.com/';

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;

{
    no warnings 'once';
    @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = ( SendTE => 0, KeepAlive =
+> 1, PeerHTTPVersion => "1.1" );
}

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;

my $request = HTTP::Request::Common::GET($url);
$ua->prepare_request($request);

warn "[Headers Out v2]\n", $request->as_string, "\n\n";

my $response = $ua->send_request($request);

warn "[Headers Out v2]\n", $response->request()->as_string(), "\n\n";
warn "[Headers In]:\n", $response->headers()->as_string, "\n\n";
[download]

Both produce exactly same result for Headers Out:

GET http://example.com/
User-Agent: libwww-perl/6.05
[download]

But not "real" one, which looks like this:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: libwww-perl/6.05
Connection: keep-alive
[download]

Thanks in advance for any help.
