RESET can happen for lots of different reasons. They could even be suddenly breaking the connection after they see your user agent string.

I'd get more information by capturing packets with wireshark to compare the different scenarios.

    Thanks for the advice. Since HTTPS is encrypted and the LWP's source is at hand, I just let LWP print out (uncomment one line, really) the HTTP header it's sending, and the culprit turns out to be the Transfer-Encoding (TE) header. I'll be bugging Gisle Aas again to give LWP the option of not sending TE header.
