    I use LWP::UserAgent version 2.036 from distribution libwww-perl-5.808. The method progress was added since libwww-perl-5.806. Upgrade your version and try again. I wonder however my code runs at all with libwww-perl-5.805 (that included LWP::UA 2.033 which didn't provide method progress yet).

    Update: How stupid of me. My code runs with LWP::UA 2.033 because the method progress isn't called at all

      Thanks.
      I upgraded and succeeded to make this work, unfortunately this method does not bring the result I need using headers_as_string.
      I will give you an example:
      http://www.clipfish.de/player.php?videoid=MzkyOTN8OTA%3D
      has a video inside.
      There is no direct link to this video in the HTML source, the location will only be sent within the headers.
      Using LWP::UserAgent with method progress does not bring this URL which is as follows (from LiveHTTPheaders-log, snippet from header):
      http://pg1.clipfish.de/media/96/4efec90e3f12d631b4f5b490db152596.flv
GET /media/96/4efec90e3f12d631b4f5b490db152596.flv HTTP/1.1
Host: pg1.clipfish.de
...

      Would it be possible to get the "host"-information and URL of the video from the headers using LWP or do I have to use another module or method?
