I forgot to say about the files used in my tests...
Concerning the file contents:
* perl-lwp-test1a.xml and perl-lwp-test1h.xml have the same
contents, which are also valid in the UTF-8 encoding.
* perl-lwp-test2a.xml and perl-lwp-test2h.xml have the same
contents, which are not valid in the UTF-8 encoding.
Concerning the HTTP headers:
* perl-lwp-test1a.xml and perl-lwp-test2a.xml are served as
application/xml, with no associated HTTP charset. This case
is covered by RFC 3023.
* perl-lwp-test1h.xml and perl-lwp-test2h.xml are served as
text/html, with no associated HTTP charset.
