Summary: Make httplib work with picky servers

Initial Comment:
Python2.0: httplib.py: httplib: HTTPconnection

Header processing: (putheader, putrequest, and
endheaders) methods transmit each HTTP header
line using a separate socket send invocation.

Before this change, My Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL
router (Linksys BEFSR41, firmware v 1.22,
March 31 2000) rejected the request becuase the
entire HTTP header block is not contained in a
single TCP packet.

Clearly, the router is engaging in a noncompliant
optimization!  This patch is not required to allow
httplib to work with real servers, making it
completely optional.

The patch I am submitting with this note causes
httplib to work with the router.  It is intended
mostly as a model; a developer with greater
familiarity with the library might have a better
approach.
