[issue8823] urllib2 does not catch httplib.BadStatusLine

[Greg Roodt]

Greg Roodt <groodt at gmail.com> added the comment:

I've made a small change to urllib2 to catch the httplib.BadStatusLine and raise as URLError. This exception should rarely happen as it means the server is returning invalid responses. Nevertheless, I've added a test and hopefully fixed the issue.

Patch is attached. I will check if this needs to be added to newer versions of Python.
