[New-bugs-announce] [issue35649] http.client doesn't close. Infinite loop

[skorpeo]

New submission from skorpeo <skorpeo11 at gmail.com>:

when testing example from https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.client.html.  Specifically the chunked example, i.e. while not r1.closed.  Results in infinite loop.  

I believe this is because line 398 function def _close_conn(self), should call self.close().
