[New-bugs-announce] [issue45328] http.client.HTTPConnection doesn't work without TCP_NODELAY

[R]

New submission from R <rtobarc at gmail.com>:

I'm working on trying to run python under SerenityOS.

At the moment, SerenityOS doesn't implement the TCP_NODELAY socket option. This makes the HTTPConnection.connect() method raise an OSError for an operation that is otherwise optional. Additionally, the connection object can be left in an intermediate state: the underlying socket is always created, but depending on what method was invoked (either connect() directly or a higher-level one such as putrequest()) the connection object can be in IDLE or REQ_STARTED state.

I have a patch that works (attached), and I'll be working on submitting a PR now.

Usage of TCP_NODELAY was introduced in 3.5 (#23302), so even though I've been testing against 3.10rc2 for the time being I'm sure it will affect all versions in between.
