david2008 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Is there a way to send compressed content through LWP::UserAgent?
Is there a way to say LWP::UserAgent that every post request will be sent compressed?
Comment on send compressed content with LWP::UserAgent
You need to set the appropriate HTTP Headers, as mentioned here: Gzip (under "Other uses").
For setting them use HTTP::Headers as described in LWP::UserAgent.
