in thread LWP::Simple::get($url) does not work for some urls

As you can see it uses gziped response so you must have something which unzip it for you.
usually the server sends its content gzipped only if the client says it can handle it. So if you don't send an Accept-Encoding: gzip, you will get the plain content.
