[issue14044] IncompleteRead error with urllib2 or urllib.request -- fine with urllib, wget, or curl

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

The server in question is sending a chunked response, but seems to be closing the connection when it is done, without sending a zero-length chunk (which I understand it is meant to according to the HTTP protocol).

My Firefox shows the XML without any indication of error. But then if I manually truncate a chunked response to Firefox it doesn’t indicate an error either, which I would probably want to know about.
