MemoryError in httplib

[ZhangYue张岳]

The problem from

http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread25490.html

can be repeated here with python2.4.1 on WinXP. 

Test sample: sending about 5MB http data. 

It appears to be caused by line 545, httplib.py. 

            chunk = self.fp.read(amt)

It seems that reading too much from that sock causes
leak. Thus trying to edit the line making it

            chunk = self.fp.read(min(amt,50000))

the problem will be solved. //Not sure whether it was
sock error for using pure sock for http won't cause
this problem. 

Best regards.
