So does this mean that the content-length header value is no longer used?
Here is some untested sample code based on your response and reading the lwp::useragent docs...
use strict; use warnings; use LWP; use IO::Handle; use Fatal qw( open close ); my $url = 'https://........'; my filename = 'file2send.txt'; my $LINES_PER_CHUNK = 100; open my $fh, '<', $filename; sub sendthis { my @buf; my $linesread = 0; if ($fh->isopened) { while (my $line = <$fh>) { $linesread++; push(@buf, $line); if ($linesread == $LINES_PER_CHUNK) { return join('', @buf); } } close $fh; return join('', @buf); } return ''; } eval { my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new(); $headers->header('Content-Type' => 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'); $headers->header('Content-Length' => -s $file2send); my $request = HTTP::Request->new('POST', $url, $headers); $request->protocol('HTTP/1.1'); my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new(); my $response = $browser->request($request, \&sendthis); my $gotthis = $response->content(); print $gotthis; }; if ($@) { # handle error ! }
Edit: made changes that rhesa suggested regarding request method callback and content length

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
