[issue4448] should socket readline() use default_bufsize instead of _rbufsize?

I have looked at this for py3k.
the behaviour of HTTPResponse.fp.read() is the same, wheter fp is 
buffered or not:  a read() will read to EOF for HTTP/1.1, which means 
blocking indefinetely.  So, read() is forbidden for HTTP/1.1.  For 
fp.read(n), buffered IO won't attempt to read more than is on the 
stream, if n bytes are avalible (SocketIO.read(N) will return a<N and 
not block) so there is no reason not to use buffering.
