The ASCII-art diagram at the top of httplib contains a backslash at
the end of a line, which causes Python to remove the newline. This
one-character patch adds a space after the backslash so it will
appear at the end of the line in the docstring as intended.
socket in httplib.py.
The bug reports that on Windows, you must pass sock._sock to the
socket.ssl() call. But on Unix, you must pass sock itself. (sock is
a wrapper on Windows but not on Unix; the ssl() call wants the real
socket object, not the wrapper.)
So we see if sock has an _sock attribute and if so, extract it.
Unfortunately, the submitter of the bug didn't confirm that this patch
works, so I'll just have to believe it (can't test it myself since I
don't have OpenSSL on Windows set up, and that's a nontrivial thing I
believe).
interface consistent: The client is responsible for closing the
socket, regardless of the amount of data received.
Restore suport for set_debuglevel call.
Modify HTTP to use delegation instead of inheritance. The
_connection_class attribute of the class defines what class to
delegate to. The HTTPS class is a subclass of HTTP that redefines
_connection_class.

Laszlo Kovacs of HP. Both have kindly given permission to include
the patches in the Python distribution. Final formatting by GvR.
(1) No longer close self.sock; close it on close(). (Guido)
(2) Don't use regular expressions for what can be done simply with
string.split() -- regex is thread unsafe. (Jeremy)
(3) Delete unused imports. (Jeremy)
