The problem I ran into involved POSTing an XML document, and setting
the Content-Type for a POST certainly isn't bad practice, provided, of
course, that it actually matches the content.

I assume you mean with respect to the payload, like converting it?
No, I think it is up to the user to make content and headers match.
LWP doesn't do anything counter-intuitive here.

The gotcha for me was the one I described, where you have to make sure
to pass the contents as a string of octets, as opposed to a string of
characters. But no, I can't be sure this is actually the same problem
the OP is running into.
