It doesn't fail when I tried it (even after uncommenting the get
line). I used Crypt::SSLeay; what SSL module did you use?

I don't understand this. What is the sequence of sysread returns in
this case? EOF is different from a failed read.

The loop in LWP::Protocol::http is correct so I will not patch it.
The error is at a different level; either in read_entity_body() or
in the SSL module.
