Thanks very much for this detailed explanation of what you've been =
seeing.  I don't really know this part of the code well enough to be =
able to comment on this right now, but there was a recent pull request =
which deals with authentication.  Does =
https://github.com/libwww-perl/libwww-perl/pull/255/files fix anything =
for you?

If it does or it doesn't, it might be worth commenting on the existing =
pull request.

Best,

Olaf
