[Python-Dev] OpenSSL httplib bug

I was using httplib to power my xml rpc script.
I had problems when I wanted to use SSL and I got this error:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 1109, in recv
return self._ssl.read(len)
socket.sslerror: (8, 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol')
I figured out this was because of poor error handling in python.
May I suggest this as a fix to this bug:
$ diff /usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py /usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py~
1109,1112c1109
< try:
< return self._ssl.read(len)
< except socket.sslerror:
< return
---
> return self._ssl.read(len)
Just a note. I am by no means a python expert, just good enough to get
my work done.
I use Ubuntu gutsy.
