jmoses: Are you seeing this problem with Python 2.3?  I
thought we had fixed the problem in the original report.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by program execution
continuing.  Do you mean that the for loop finished and the
rest of the program continued executing, even though there
was data left to read?  

What would probably help most is a trace of the session with
httplib's set_debuglevel() enabled.  If that's got sensitive
data, you can email it to me privately.
