I've run into this problem in conjunction with mod_python
3.1.4 (and although the problem is caused in mod_python) my
python skills aren't up to the task. Which leaves me with
fixing httplib. Although the above patch works when it comes
to end of file situations, I think it would be better to
return what has been consumed so far and leave it at that. A
few lines down there's a comment about consuming trailers,
this is the case that is tripping up httplib as far as I can
tell. This is happening in Python 2.3.4.
