Hi there, I'm experiencing Perl crashes when using LWP::UserAgent->request() in my code. I suppose it's initialized properly with valid HTTP::Request object. The problem occures only on some webs, so I guess the objects might be not sufficiently initialized, or missing some required properties defined. Can I have some input what I should to try to solve the crashes?

Just a bit of my specs: Perl v5.26.3 on WIndows 8.1 64bit.

Building the request goes usually:

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(
  'agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537
+.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/73.0.3683.103 Safari/537.36'
);
$hdr->header(
  'Content-Type' => 'text/plain',
  'Content-Length' => 0,
);
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url, $hdr);
my $res = $ua->request($req); # <=================== C0000005
