[issue7806] httplib.HTTPConnection.getresponse closes socket which destroys the response

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

So HTTConnection is closing the thing returned by makefile and that is closing the socket, except that the socket library makes sure it doesn't actually close the socket until the dupped file handle is also closed?  I guess I need to look at this more closely when I have time in order to fully understand it.
