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.
