have some questions about how it should handle many (most?) HTTPS sites.

Yeah, it seems to be pretty much all of them, which is a real shame. I guess it must have been about 6 or 7 years ago that I last used LWP::Parallel for anything serious and back then this wasn't really an issue. In the meantime the heavy hand of Google has de-facto forced most of the web over onto HTTPS and now this is a major consideration.

Having tested this briefly against one of my own sites it does actually appear to be downloading the content in that the server receives, accepts and serves the request OK. It's just that the user agent has some sort of internal problem with the response.

It might be worth raising a ticket although there are plenty open. Still, it would alert other users to the problem.
