SF Patch #103225 by Ping: httplib: smallest Python patch ever

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.
