Bug#734470: libdebbugs-perl: SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server returns Content-Type Multipart/Related

Package: libdebbugs-perl
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I'm reporting this to the debbugs installation on
debbugs.gnu.org. Don't know the version, but
/usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Transport/HTTP.pm reports $VERSION = 0.714;

When a soap request is send to that server, and the reponse contains a
line like (for example)

----------------------------------- cut here ----------------------------------
-move-to-block from 109576 Content-Type: multipart/
----------------------------------- cut here ----------------------------------

the soap response is wrongly

----------------------------------- cut here ----------------------------------
Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/xml"; start="<main_envelope>"; boundary="----
----------------------------------- cut here ----------------------------------

with a completely mangled boundary instead of

----------------------------------- cut here ----------------------------------
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
----------------------------------- cut here ----------------------------------

The following patch fixes this for me:
