Dear Keary,
Thank you for getting back to me.
Some parts of the HTTP spec are ambiguous and left to implementation. In

Initially, I received www.google.com with GET, and "411 Length Required"
with POST.
Subsequently, I tried providing header and content:
$request = new HTTP::Request 'GET', 'http://www.google.com', [asdf =>
'fdsa'], "dummy content";
and now with GET I see: "411 Length Required", and with POST: "405 Method
Not Allowed".
So, I am pretty baffled as to what the rules are, and how I can make this
work.
Thanx,
Aaron
