If that module is wrong, then I don't want to be right :).

You're correct that POE::Component::Client::HTTP performs HTTP client
calls, but LWP::UserAgent is (or at least was when POE::LWP::UserAgent
was created) more fully featured, offering cookies, SSL, WWW::Mechanize,
etc.

So the idea was to import those missing features into the POE world, but
changes to POE::Component::Client::HTTP broke it a while ago. The issue
is being discussed in this bug, feel free to chime in:
