[New-bugs-announce] [issue5418] urllib.response.addinfourl does not support __exit__

[Mitchell Model]

New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

response = urllib.request.open(someURL)
    page = response.read()

close() be called on response after the read(), right?  Experimentation 
shows that I can repeatedly read from response until I close it, getting 
back empty bytes objects.

Thinking that anything with a close() should support the with statement, 
I tried putting  the code inside one but got
        AttributeError: 'addinfourl' object has no attribute '__exit__'
so I can see that it doesn't support with. It seems like it should.
