            Bug ID: 952722
           Summary: GET content gets truncated randomly and is_error still
                    returns false
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 18
         Component: perl-LWP-Protocol-https
          Severity: medium
          Priority: unspecified

Description of problem:

For the same URL and data, content for https GET responses sometimes is
returned truncated, sometimes is returned complete. Truncation point is
different each time. Amusingly, is_error always returns false.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This is happening in perl-LWP-Protocol-https version 6.02 release 4.fc16 (in
Fedora Core 16). I have also tried upgrading the package to version 6.03-3.fc18
along with perl-libwww-perl (to 6.04-3.fc18) and the problem is still there.

It works fine with perl-libwww-perl version 5.833 from RHEL 6, which is
previous to the HTTPS split from main LWP.

How reproducible:

In my system, just by GETting the complete vms page from RedHat Enterprise
Virtualization's REST API, which is about 90 KBs long for our systems. The data
transferred contains sensitive data, hence I'm not comfortable including it.
Please let me know if you need any additional info.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set up a user agent with hostname_verification and user SSL_ca_file
2. Set up a request for https://server:port/api/vms, pass it to the agent and
check !is_error
3. The response sometimes comes back entire, sometimes truncated at a random
point

Actual results:

The beginning of the correct Virtual Machines XML listing from RHEV truncated
at some random point.

Expected results:

The whole file.

Additional info:

As mentioned, the same script requesting the same URI works fine in RHEL 6. I
am unable at this time to test a full FC 18 system, just did for the https and
LWP packages.
