Hi,

Im downloading a file from a webpage using this code 

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    $ua->agent('Windows IE 6');
    $ua->timeout(2000);       

my $req = HTTP::Request->new( GET => $web_address );
                $req->header( Pragma          => "no-cache" );
                $req->header( 'Cache-Control' => "no-cache" );

my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ( $res->is_success ) {
                    my $doc = $res->content;
}

[download]

But the issue is that since the page has a pdf embedded inside it, it is taking time to download the pdf.

Hence instead of downloading the pdf it is downloading the intermediate Downloading... html page. Is there way to time the GET method to wait for the pdf file to load completely and then download ?
