For whatever reason, BadStatusLine tracebacks often don't show the line
passed into them. Given the errr, heavy architecture of httplib, this
makes it pretty bad to debug. It's not clear to me why this is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/djc/src/couchdb-python/couchdb/tests/client.py", line 138,
in test_attachment_crud_with_files
    doc = self.db['foo']
  File "/home/djc/src/couchdb-python/couchdb/client.py", line 293, in

    _, _, data = self.resource.get(id)
  File "/home/djc/src/couchdb-python/couchdb/http.py", line 333, in get
    return self._request('GET', path, headers=headers, **params)
  File "/home/djc/src/couchdb-python/couchdb/http.py", line 350, in _request
    credentials=self.credentials)
  File "/home/djc/src/couchdb-python/couchdb/http.py", line 179, in request
    resp = _try_request()
  File "/home/djc/src/couchdb-python/couchdb/http.py", line 167, in

BadStatusLine

However, some interactive testing shows that this should work:

Definition of BadStatusLine:

class BadStatusLine(HTTPException):
    def __init__(self, line):
        self.args = line,
        self.line = line

class HTTPException(Exception):
    # Subclasses that define an __init__ must call Exception.__init__
    # or define self.args.  Otherwise, str() will fail.
    pass

The note here seems like a cautionary but insufficient tale...
