--- Comment #13 from Claude Brown <claude at falam.net> ---
I also have experienced this bug in "Net::HTTP" in version 6.02 and after a lot
of debugging over the past few days I found the problem.

Sometimes "Net::HTTP->read_entity_body" assumes that some data will be
immediately available to "sysread" when it needs it.  For a non-blocking socket
this isn't always true.

However, often the code gets away with it because the assumption is made when
reading the "chunk data" just after the "chunk length". Web-servers will often
send these things pretty quickly and so the assumption holds.

I had a look at Net::HTTP 6.05 and the problem has been resolved by ensuring
that "select" is used to wait for the specified timeout period before giving
up.
