Here's how I did it.

    while 1:
        response = self._client.getresponse()
        if response.status != 100:
            break
        # 2000-12-30 djf -- drop bogus 100 response
        # by kludging httplib
        self._client._HTTPConnection__state = httplib._CS_REQ_SENT
        self._client._HTTPConnection__response = None

I submitted this as bug #227361 on SourceForge.
