Doesn't help... I even added a printout of the object to be sure:

sub _new_socket
{
  my($self, $host, $port, $timeout) = @_;
  my $s;
  print "Creating New socket: $host, $port, $timeout\n";
  print ref($self),"\n";
  foreach my $k (keys %$self) {print "$k: $self->{$k}\n";}
  $s = $self->SUPER::_new_socket( @_ );
  print "ok\n";
  return $s;
}

With output

Creating New socket: www.google.ch, 80, 45
MyHttp
max_size: 50000000
ua: LWP::UserAgent=HASH(0xe09910)
scheme: http
[download]

So the "ok" is still not printed, it obviously crashes in SUPER::_new_socket or doesn't find it at all. Why don't I get any error message? Also, even when I don't overwrite anything - so by leaving the _new_socket function out completely - nothing happens. In my understanding, it should behave like the original class.. strange...

PS: I found the error.. the following code works:

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;



package myHttp;

use vars qw(@ISA);
require LWP::Protocol::http;
@ISA = qw( LWP::Protocol::http );


sub _new_socket
{
    my($self, $host, $port, $timeout) = @_;

    local($^W) = 0;  # IO::Socket::INET can be noisy
    my $sock = LWP::Protocol::http::Socket->new(PeerAddr => $host,
                                        PeerPort => $port,
                                        LocalAddr => $self->{ua}{local
+_address},
                                        Proto    => 'tcp',
                                        Timeout  => $timeout,
                                        KeepAlive => !!$self->{ua}{con
+n_cache},
                                        SendTE    => 1,
                                        $self->_extra_sock_opts($host,
+ $port),
                                       );

    unless ($sock) {
        # IO::Socket::INET leaves additional error messages in $@
        my $status = "Can't connect to $host:$port";
        if ($@ =~ /\bconnect: (.*)/ ||
            $@ =~ /\b(Bad hostname)\b/ ||
            $@ =~ /\b(certificate verify failed)\b/ ||
            $@ =~ /\b(Crypt-SSLeay can't verify hostnames)\b/
        ) {
            $status .= " ($1)";
        }
        die "$status\n\n$@";
    }

    # perl 5.005's IO::Socket does not have the blocking method.
    eval { $sock->blocking(0); };

    $sock;
}




package main;

LWP::Protocol::implementor( http => 'myHttp' );

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(ssl_opts => { SSL_verify_mode => 'SSL_VER
+IFY_NONE'},);
$ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Triden
+t/5.0)');
$ua->max_size(50000000); # 50MB at most
$ua->timeout(45);

my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://www.google.ch/");

Problem is that "_new_socket" calls "socket_type" which concatenates a "::Socket" to the current type, and because "myHttp::Socket" is not defined, there is a problem. I "solved" it by manually copying over the function and replace "my $sock = $self->socket_class->new(..." by "my $sock = LWP::Protocol::http::Socket->new(...". Messy but only way I found that works; I tried putting in a socket_class funciton that copnstantly returns "LWP::Protocol::http::Socket", but this did not work :-/
