I would probably extend it to check the returned error code as well.
For getting a response doesn’t necessarily mean that all is well. It can be a redirect command or possibly some other type of error. Would you also like to follow a chain of redirects? (you should detect and avert cyclic redirects).
One more question I’d be curious to know is whether LWP supports HTTPS protocol as well?
