You can see request headers (option -U). If you examine lwp-request source, you'll see 
    if ($options{'u'} || $options{'U'}) {
        my $url = $response->request->url->as_string;
        print "$method $url\n";
        print $response->request->headers_as_string, "\n" if $options{
+'U'};
    }

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
