ok I have learned a lot but, may be I have a brick instead of a brain, I'm still not sure about the answer to my question 1):To count the bytes received :

A) I have to check the utf8 flag (with is_utf8) against the content of the body returned by LWP::ua -> HTTP::Request -> HTTP::Response(etc ..) and if is not utf8 use the bytes::length($response->content) or

B) I can assume that Perl receiving a string assume Latin-1 (and so my be will print some beesheet on my monitor)and the corrispondence char/bytes is assured and so i will normally use length($response->content)??

I'm not sure but I think some html page in the world is not utf8, rigth? header cannot be encoded, I hope, rigth??

Thanks to all poster
