Summary: documentation error in 2.0, section 11.4.2 (httplib example)

Details: In section 11.4.2 (httplib examples), the second example is
incorrect.  Several variables (paramstring, errcode) are used but not
defined.  The proper sample code follows:

>>> import httplib, urllib
>>> params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> h = httplib.HTTP("www.musi-cal.com:80")
>>> h.putrequest("POST", "/cgi-bin/query")
>>> h.putheader("Content-length", "%d" % len(params))
>>> h.putheader('Accept', 'text/plain')
>>> h.putheader('Host', 'www.musi-cal.com')
>>> h.endheaders()
>>> h.send(params)
>>> errcode, msg, hdrs = h.getreply()
>>> print errcode # should be 200
>>> data = h.getfile().read() # get the raw HTML

The lines changed are:
h.send(paramstring)  ->  h.send(params)
reply, msg, hdrs = h.getreply()  ->  errcode, msg, hdrs = h.getreply()
