Bug#469350: I can confirm this issue

[Nicholas Bamber]

You can get the real output by doing:

tcpdump -i lo -w tcpdump.txt


and the output in question by doing

HEAD -U http://localhost/

In the former we have

GET / HTTP/1.1
TE: deflate,gzip;q=0.3
Connection: TE, close
Host: localhost
User-Agent: lwp-request/5.834 libwww-perl/5.836

In the latter

GET http://localhost
User-Agent: lwp-request/5.834 libwww-perl/5.836


I am not entirely sure that this is a real problem, but at least there 
is a prima facie case.
