[New-bugs-announce] [issue4308] repr of httplib.IncompleteRead is stupid

[Chris Withers]

New submission from Chris Withers <chris at simplistix.co.uk>:

The repr of httplib.IncompleteRead contains all the data in the read so far.

This is stupid. Consider the download of a 100Mb file which fails after
30Mb. You end up with 90Mb of text in the log entry logged with the
python logging framework 
(eg: logger.error('Something bad happened',exc_info=True) )
