[issue5038] urrlib2/httplib doesn't reset file position between requests

Here is a demonstration script in case it helps. I haven’t tested it with versions before Python 2.6.

Older versions send “Content-Length: 11”, but leave the server hanging trying to read the data. Newer versions (I presume since Issue 12319, 3.6+) send a valid HTTP 1.1 chunked request, but with empty data.
