[New-bugs-announce] [issue14562] urllib2 maybe blocks too long

[Anrs Hu]

New submission from Anrs Hu <anders.x.hu at gmail.com>:

If HTTP URL response's Transfer-Encoding is 'Chunked', then the urllib2.urlopen(URL).readline() will block until there're enough 8192 bytes, even though the first chunk is just a line. 

Every chunks should be processed as soon as posible, so the readline() behavior should read a line and return immediately, rather than read 8K data to buffer and look up a line from the buffer.
