http requests are calculating the wrong content length for utf8 strings.
adding "use bytes;" to LWP::Protocol::http::request fixes this problem.
perl 5.8.8 and later (tested on perl v5.10.1)

The "contract" is that the content of a HTTP::Message object should be bytes.
You are not supposed to be able to pass in a HTTP::Request where the content isn't
representable as bytes. What do you do to bypass these checks?

I send an XML request that happens to have multibyte characters.
