I don't know why wget splits the URL into "Host" and the rest. I don't know if that is significant or not.
That makes me wonder whether LWP is connecting through a proxy: the only case I've seen where GET uses a full URL is if you're telling a proxy, rather than the final server, which URL to get (the direct case uses only the partial URL on the GET line and the hostname in a separate Host: header - at least with HTTP 1.1).
...wait, LWP is using HTTP 0.9? That seems wrong, too. I would have expected "HTTP/1.0" or (preferably) "HTTP/1.1" at the end of the "GET" line.
Is this debugging output from LWP or is it the "real thing" (captured from the network somehow, for example)? Perhaps it's just LWP trying to be helpful in its debugging output and not telling you the exact string its sending?
