[issue12576] urlib.request fails to open some sites

I propose the attached patch as fix to this issue. All it does is, moves the code of getting http response to the finally block of the http request. It closes the sockets if the getting the response fails for some reason, otherwise it proceeds normally.  

Please provide your critique if any, otherwise, I shall go ahead with checking this in.
