Hi,

In the following snippet of code, I have a LWP useragent behind a proxy making a request, where the content body is saved to a file. 

$ua = new LWP::UserAgent( keep_alive => 1 );
$ua->proxy(['http', 'https'], $proxy);
$request = HTTP::Request->new('GET', 'http://www.google.com');
$response = $ua->request($request, '/root/content_file');

In doing so, the content_file is empty after executing the code, and the response object contains a '_content' member (suggesting to me that the content did not get transferred over to the file).


Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thank you!
