My pleasure.
Interesting. I can reproduce this on (mostly current) sid with
libwww-perl 6.06-1.
Ah, I was going to test that Monday :-)
Quoting HTTP::Request documentation:
$r->content( $bytes )
Note that the content should be a string of bytes. Strings in
perl can contain characters outside the range of a byte.
The "Encode" module can be used to turn such strings into a
string of bytes.
So this is not totally unexpected, but the particular failure mode you've
run into is certainly rather horrible.
Possibly the content() method should croak when the UTF8 bit is set?
Interestingly in the my case, although the UTF8 bit is set, the data is
all code points below 256. In fact the first time i ran into the bug
the data was "XXX". (Read from a file with "binmode :utf8" on).
Maybe something like
if (utf8::is_utf8($data)) {
eval {
utf8::downgrade ($data);
};
croak "content not bytes" if $@;
}
