If the length of the reponse from an HTTPConnection is
unknown, then a read with a specified amount fails.
 
File "/home/grant/local/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line
404, in read
    self.length -= amt
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -=: 'str'
and 'int'

I can reproduce the same error.
This  happens when the server answers using the HTTP 0.9
protocol.
Apparently the _read_status() is getting confused for some
HTTP 0.9 messages.
