[issue17849] Missing size argument in readline() method for httplib's class LineAndFileWrapper

[Cory Benfield]

Martin: as noted in the comments on this issue, I believed the specific test case did not match any of the problems people were encountering: it was just the least bad way to trigger the specific flow that was being encountered.

In practice for these issues it's likely some other error condition is involved. Regardless, Python 2.7 claims to support HTTP/0.9, which certainly allows for proxies to not send a status line, so the test case is a reasonable example of what should be supported by httplib.

I'll take another run at this patch to see if I can clean it up.
