I'm not sure if you saw my previous e-mail, but it looks like LWP::UserAgent is ending the request early over HTTPS sometimes. I've not really found a pattern, as sometimes it works but most times it fails. And when it fails it does so after different amounts of data have been transferred. If I connect over HTTP it works 100% of the time.

I'd say reverting the patch is a quick fix, and will not hinder the functionality of the script. It's much easier than trying to track down where it's happening in LWP::UserAgent.
