I ran into a problem like this and discovered that you can pass options to
the Net::HTTP object using an internal variable in LWP::Protocol::http :

  my %OPTS = @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS;
  $OPTS{MaxLineLength} = 8192; # Or however large is needed...
  @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = %OPTS;

(In this case the problem being solved was that LWP::UserAgent fails
sometimes on huge header lines which is an exception triggered by
Net::HTTP)

I commented on this here:

Perhaps you can pass your option in the same way.

Cheerio,
 
 Brad
