Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv27132

Modified Files:
	urllib2.py 
Log Message:
Fix urllib2.urlopen() handling of chunked content encoding.

The change to use the newer httplib interface admitted the possibility
that we'd get an HTTP/1.1 chunked response, but the code didn't handle
it correctly.  The raw socket object can't be pass to addinfourl(),
because it would read the undecoded response.  Instead, addinfourl()
must call HTTPResponse.read(), which will handle the decoding.

One extra wrinkle is that the HTTPReponse object can't be passed to
addinfourl() either, because it doesn't implement readline() or
readlines().  As a quick hack, use socket._fileobject(), which
implements those methods on top of a read buffer.  (suggested by mwh)

Finally, add some tests based on test_urllibnet.

Thanks to Andrew Sawyers for originally reporting the chunked problem.
