For some reason, I'm getting timeout when trying to consume a Restful webservice. There's no proxy issue or login because I was able to write a php snipplet and consume the webservice on the same machine. The web server is sending responses in "chunked".

It all boiled down to the line 257 on Net::HTTP::Methods.

Research direction

Start with Net::HTTP::Methods at line 257 and review how chunked responses are read when the timeout occurs. Use the linked PerlMonks report and original rt.cpan.org ticket to establish the behavior; done means the reported REST response no longer times out.
