Summary: urllib adds extra CRLF in posted data

Initial Comment:
urllib.py and urllib2.py adds an extra trailing CRLF in
data that is sent in a POST statement.  That is in
violation of RFC 2616 that says:

> Certain buggy HTTP/1.0 client implementations
> generate extra CRLF's after a POST request. To
> restate what is explicitly forbidden by the
> BNF, an HTTP/1.1 client MUST NOT preface or
> follow a request with an extra CRLF.

The enclosed patch removes the generation of the extra
CRLF.  The patch was generated against the current CVS
revisions.
