SOAP::Lite and LWP length hack not working

perl5ever has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi fellow monks,

I'm using SOAP::Lite with perl 5.8.0, and I'm running into a character encoding problem only some of the time. It's pretty clear that the Content Length as computed by SOAP::Lite versus LWP is not the same.

My question is: are there any situations where the LWP length hack in SOAP::Lite will NOT work? I seem to be occasionally running into the problem that this person is also running into:

Upgrade. Upgrade LWP (libwww-perl-5.825). Upgrade SOAP::Lite (SOAP-Lite-0.710.08). Upgrade all LWP/SOAP::Lite prerequisites. Upgrade perl 5.8.0 (perl-5.8.9). That hack is ancient(2006), so if it hasn't been obsoleted, you need to submit a bug report (including a code example that demonstrates the bug).	[reply]

Its been rejected as a bug :) #11333: Incorrect Content-Length header when posting UTF8 data #28910: HTTP::Daemon sends invalid Content-Length for wide character content (fixed)	[reply]
