Thanks very much for this detailed explanation of what you've been seeing. I don't really know this part of the code well enough to be able to comment on this right now, but there was a recent pull request which deals with authentication. Does https://github.com/libwww-perl/libwww-perl/pull/255/files fix anything for you? If it does or it doesn't, it might be worth commenting on the existing pull request. Best, Olaf
