Actually, the script has no way to find out what protocol version was sent. There is nothing in the LWP API that allows a protocol driver to reveal that. We could perhaps manage to make the LWP::Debug '+conns' stuff more useful. > Similarly, they'll report a response-line of > > GET http://host.name/foo.txt --> 200 OK > > instead of what I want to see, which was the line actually > sent back: > > HTTP/1.1 200 OK This information is actually available. > Is there simply an option I can't find that will report these > explicit and uninterpreted details?
