I am attempting to use LWP to retrieve a webpage. When I retreive this page via Mozilla and select View Source I see the following for a piece of the given page: 

Received: from unknown (66.218.66.218)<BR>

When I retrieve the same page via LWP I seem to be receiving the following in the HTTP::Response->content: 

Received: from unknown (66.218.66.218)<BR>

Basically the same content but with the leading spaces missing. These spaces are important as the content is supposed to be a valid SMTP (RFC 2822) message, in which leading spaces matter.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem with LWP? Any suggested solutions?
