Greets fellow monks. Either there has been an oversight in LWP and HTTP::* or I am committing an oversight.

I can't seem to find any way of setting the HTTP protocol version when creating an LWP, WWW Mechanize, or HTTP Request request. I looked through the source code and even didn't see anything. The only place I found anything about it was in Net::HTTP. It let's u set the version and URI. Of course, this creates a big problem if I have to do this to set them.

So:
Need to set HTTP Version to 1.0, 999, anything I want.
Need to control the request URI to anything I want. e.g. GET bob, rather than GET /bob as URL parsing would produce.

Thanks.
