Hello monks,

i'm trying to download html pages, everything is working fine except for pages where single html line contains length longer than 64k bytes. Downloading interrupts, line cutted at 64k, rest of page skipped. Return code - 200 ok.

Interestingly wget does the same, truncated html page at line length 64k. And no errors.

But any browser on windows machine opens that pages correctly.

Setting 
use LWP::Protocol::http;
push(@LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS, MaxLineLength => 0);

[download]
not helping at all. Besides i think this limit is for headers.

RHEL5 Server x64, perl 5.8.8
