Well, software.keep-cool.org http server sends back weird headers:

$ mojo get -M HEAD -v http://software.keep-cool.org/dl/ckport/
HEAD http://software.keep-cool.org/dl/ckport/ HTTP/1.1
Host: software.keep-cool.org
Accept-Encoding: gzip
User-Agent: Mojolicious (Perl)
Content-Length: 0

HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
Content-Length: 1731

Server: mini_httpd/1.19 19dec2003
Content-Type: text/html; charset=%s

It's possible that "charset=%s" trips up HTTP::Response.

On the other hand, the command "GET http://software.keep-cool.org/dl/ckport/" 
(which uses HTTP::Response) works fine:

$  GET http://software.keep-cool.org/dl/ckport/

<HEAD><TITLE>Index of software.keep-cool.org/dl/ckport/</TITLE></HEAD>
