Re^4: Mysterious LWP status 500 Line too long

I've double-checked the TCP/IP packets coming from the switch.

There are *no* HTTP headers. The content from the switch starts with the <HTML> tag.

So, it looks like LWP is expecting a header that never comes, and fills up its buffer with the HTML content.

Is there a way that I can tell LWP to *not* expect the header?

Wait, if there was no header, it should die (`die "Bad response status line: '$status'" unless $laxed;`) The status line is considered part of the header. A minimal header would be: `HTTP/1.0 200 OK<CR><LF> <CR><LF> body` [download] Is the status line missing? Is the blank link missing? Anyway, you'll probably have to drop LWP and create your own socket.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
