Hi Meir, you can set the reponse content and then use decoded_content. Something like this:
$response = $ua->request($request, $filename); undef $/; open(FH, "<$filename"); binmode(FH); $pageContent = <FH>; close (FH); $/ = "\n"; $response->content($pageContent); my $decoded_pagecontent = $response->decoded_content( raise_error => 1); Regards, Jesper On 14 April 2012 22:25, Meir Guttman <m...@guttman.co.il> wrote: > I would like to download gzip (or similarly encoded) HTML content.
