The point is LWP 5.xx used HTTP/1.0. LWP 6.xx has silently switched to HTTP/1.1. There is currently no easy way (afaik) to have LWP 6 use HTTP/1.0. Further, LWP 6 still seems quite buggy to me. Some of our test suite (and also the httpd framework) depends on LWP performing HTTP/1.0 calls. So, for the time being I'd recommend going back to LWP 5. modperl trunk should work with LWP 6.00. Some of the changes to make it work were quite ugly. So, if someone wants a small project to contribute improving the current state and fixing the bugs in LWP would be a good thing. We need for Apache::TestRequest: - a simple way to switch between HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 (with HTTP/1.0 as default). See also (for half of a very ugly solution) http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/apache/dev/398087#398087 - a way to fetch response headers that contain underline characters (_) as well as minus characters (-). - should work with LWP 5 and LWP 6 Torsten Förtsch -- Need professional modperl support?
