[issue6312] httplib fails with HEAD requests to pages with "transfer-encoding: chunked"

[Dirkjan Ochtman]

Dirkjan Ochtman <dirkjan at ochtman.nl> added the comment:

The fix in r80583 is bad. It fails to close() the response (which previously worked as expected), meaning that the connection can't be re-used.

(I ran into this because Gentoo has backported the 2.6-maint fixes to their 2.6.5 distribution.)

Shall I open a new issue, or re-open this one?
