No.  It really seems to be overlooked, and the module author hasn't
had time to fix it.  I'd be really happy to see someone in the
community fix this problem, as none of the developers seems to have
the right combination of expertise and time.

Also, while I'm asking for help, it would be great if someone could
develop a decent test suite for httplib and related modules.

Wish I had a better answer...
