[issue3566] httplib persistent connections violate MUST in RFC2616 sec 8.1.4.

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I don’t think the peek hack needs to go into to the standard library. It is just a workaround for code using the current library, to differentiate an empty status line due to EOF from any other kind of “bad” status line. This is what Issue 8450, “False BadStatusLine” is about.
