Hi there, I'm stuck with a problem stemming from the content that LWP::UserAgent inserts into documents it downloads. In essence, I have a module which uses LWP::UserAgent to download .xml files from various machines, inserting all of the HTTP headers before the actual XML. I'm using the remove_header() method from HTTP::Message to strip all of the other headers, but cannot get rid of this one:

HTTP/1.0 200 Request fulfilled, document follows

This in itself wouldn't be an issue, but XML::LIbXML is crying all over itself when it encounters this line.

It could, of course, be the way that I'm writing the file to disk, which is like this: 

if ( $res->is_success ) {
        open(FH, '>', "/usr/local/share/scripts/rrdtools/xml/$applianc
+e.xml");
        print FH $res->as_string;
        close(FH);
    } else {
        print "Failed downloading from ", $appliance  ,": ", $res->sta
+tus_line, "\n";
    }
