[issue2576] httplib read() very slow due to lack of socket buffer

[Daniel Diniz]

Daniel Diniz <ajaksu2 at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The code patch is trivial. I believe it needs docs (both explaining how
to use and warning against the problems it may cause), a NEWS entry and
tests (at least to check what happens when an invalid value lands).

I can work on those changes if the general idea is not shot down :)
