The solution will depend on which version of LWP. I'm assume 5.60 here.
Locate the method 'read_header_lines' in Net::HTTP. This is the one
responsible for reading the headers.
Either you simply patch this method by tweaking the first regexp so
that internal space is allowed.
Or you subclass LWP::Protocol::http so that you override this method
with your own. Look at LWP::Protocol::https.pm for how to do this.
You then tell LWP to use your modified protocol driver with a call like:
LWP::Protocol::implementor('http', 'MyOwn::HTTP');
