Subject: requests die because of meta tags
lwp requests are dying when encountering certain meta tags. example is techcrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/01/coindesk/ That dies with message: Illegal field name 'X-Meta-Twitter:card' which is derived from this in the html: <meta name='twitter:card' content='photo' />

Someone else encountered this same problem on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14740365/why-cant-lwpuseragent-get-this-site-entirely
Same problem as #80524. Fixed by upgrading to HTML-Parser-3.71.
