My point was that LWP::UserAgent has already written that code for you, if you design the server end to properly take advantage of what HTTP already has to offer. LWP::UserAgent already knows how to parse '401 Unauthorized'.

You can still choose to write some additional error handling code, but your overall code will be simpler. More complicated things will need more complicated code, no matter if you use SOAP or REST, so no loss there.
