in reply to HTTP::Message vs Content-Type: application/force-download

`$mess->content' returns nothing.

What does it contain? 

print $mess->dump;

[download]

What's the proper way to access the `application/force-download' content?

There is nothing special about application/force- download, simply follow SOP, do it in a browser, then try to replicate the headers (livehttpheaders).

    $mess->dump reports `(no content)'.

    Using cURL:
    HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    Using LWP:

      It has to output a bit more than that
        $ua->add_handler("request_send",  sub { shift->dump; return });
  $ua->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });

        What additional data should I note from this? The only content related header returned remains `Content-Language: en-US'.
