Give me your URL that you are contacting, I'll see how it works
with my LWP.  You might try upgrading the Crypt::SSLeay https LWP 
library to the latest should you have an old one.  The latest 
Crypt::SSLeay supports SSLv3 and all that.

I feel that this problem might be that the stronghold server was
insisting on its 128 bit SSLv3, and LWP might have been going 
for a SSLv2 or SSLv23 with 56bit, thus a funky 403. error, but
only time will tell!  It seems to clean an error to be some king
of corruption.
