Issue #12133 introduced a patch which seems to cause problems.
I'm using Python 3.2.1 on 64-bit Arch Linux (this version already incorporates the changes from #12133).
The following code:
with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as page:
pass
raises "ValueError: I/O operation on closed file." exception when url is "http://www.imdb.com/".
When I removed "h.close()" (added by the patch) from request.py everything worked as expected.
Other URLs work flawlessly with patched code ("http://www.google.com/" for example).
Maybe it is something to do with differences in HTTP responses or in server-side behavior.
For example IMDb's "Cneonction: close" (not a typo) feature.
But this could be totally unrelated, I am by no means an HTTP expert.

This is a mistake at the server and urllib relies on the
Connection: close header at some point in time in the process.
You could try with few other sites and see that context manager should
work.

h.close() (HTTPConnection.close) in the finally block of AbstractHTTPHandler.do_open() calls indirectly r.close() (HTTPResponse.close). The problem is that the content of the response cannot be read if its close() method was called.
The changelog of the fix (commit ad6bdfd7dd4b) is: "Issue #12133: AbstractHTTPHandler.do_open() of urllib.request closes the HTTP connection if its getresponse() method fails with a socket error. Patch written by Ezio Melotti."
The HTTP connection is not only closed in case of an error, but it is always closed.
It's a bug because we cannot read the content of www.imdb.com, whereas it works without the commit. Test script:
---------------
import urllib.request, gc
print("python.org")
with urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.python.org/") as page:
content = page.read()
print("content: %s..." % content[:40])
gc.collect()
print("imdb.com")
with urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.imdb.com/") as page:
content = page.read()
print("content: %s..." % content[:40])
gc.collect()
print("exit")

ValueError('I/O operation on closed file') error comes from HTTPResponse.__enter__() which is implemented in IOBase:
def __enter__(self): # That's a forward reference
self._checkClosed()
return self

imdb.com and python.org use HTTP/1.1. imdb.com server sends a "Transfer-encoding: chunked" header whereas python.org doesn't. python.org has a "Connection: close" header, whereas imdb.com doesn't.
The more revelant difference for this issue is the "Connection: close" header: HTTPResponse.wil_close is True if "Connection: close" header is present (see _check_close() method), it returns False otherwise. HTTPConnection.getresponse() keeps a reference to the response if will_close is False, or calls its close() method otherwise.
The "Cneonction: close" header looks to be a quirk of Netscaler loadbalancers. It is sometimes "nnCoection" uses the same load balancer.
There are buggy web servers, Python should not raise a "I/O closed file" error on such server.

Seconded. #12133 inadvertently closes the response object if the server fails to indicate "Connection: close". In my case, Amazon S3 (s3.amazonaws.com) causes this problem:
(Python 3.2)
>>> conn = urllib.request.urlopen('http://s3.amazonaws.com/SurveyMonkeyFiles/VPAT_SurveyMonkey.pdf')
>>> len(conn.read())
27692
(Python 3.2.1)
>>> conn = urllib.request.urlopen('http://s3.amazonaws.com/SurveyMonkeyFiles/VPAT_SurveyMonkey.pdf')
>>> len(conn.read())
0
The problem is that S3 doesn't send back a "Connection: close" header, so when h.close() is called from request.py, the request object is also closed; consequently, conn.fp is None and so conn.read() returns an empty bytes object.
This is a clear regression due to the patch in #12133.

I think this is also a regression in Python 2.7, as reported here:

Could we look for 'tion: Closed' instead of "Connection: Closed", to accomodate servers that garble the response, even if it is a hack?

I'm experiencing a related problem:
---
from urllib.request import urlopen
print(urlopen('https://mtgox.com/').read())
---
prints b'' rather than the page content.
It looks like mtgox.com always sends 'Connection: Keep-Alive'. So some hack like recognising 'tion: close' wouldn't fix it.

I am against hacks like tion: close. Under worst case, we shall revert
the change which caused this regression in the first place.

S3 also doesn't send any kind of connection header at all.

Recognizing "ction: close" as "Connection: close" is exactly what those servers do *not* want you to do.

I propose the attached patch as fix to this issue. All it does is, moves the code of getting http response to the finally block of the http request. It closes the sockets if the getting the response fails for some reason, otherwise it proceeds normally.
Please provide your critique if any, otherwise, I shall go ahead with checking this in.

Re-opening, as I think this needs to still be applied to Python 2.7.

Never mind. This changeset got applied to 2.7 (thanks!) but didn't get linked in the tracker.
