Hi FloydATC
Thanks for the details. IMHO, I am suffering from the "chunk" mode of transfer. Basically, Sever sends the data in multiple chunks, So the LWP need to make a multiple requests to get full data. As you have stated, LWP might not care (or dont need to care) about the data and encoding / chunked or non chunked.
Looks like Net::SSL can handle chunks properly where as IO::Socket::SSL is not handling it. I am not sure how to disable this chunking by using right http headers so server always sends data in one single chunk.
