[issue34629] Python3 regression for urllib(2).urlopen(...).fp for chunked http responses

Hello @tkruse, I have made some research and found that when using the Chunked transfer encoding [1], each chunk is preceded by its size in bytes, something that really happen if you check the content of one downloaded file from the example you provided [2]. So far, I would say that this is not a bug, it is just how the transfer encoding works.
