Summary: httplib test causes SSL core dump

Initial Comment:
The test() function in the httplib module attempts to 
connect to SourceForge using SSL.  I've tried this 
with Python 2.1 and up, using OpenSSL 0.9.6.  The read 
call fails with an SSL error, then python dumps core 
instead OpenSSL.

I don't know if this is a Python bug or an SSL bug.  
At first blush, I'd guess that Python is probably 
using OpenSSL incorrectly.

Here's the Python traceback.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../Lib/httplib.py", line 895, in ?
    test()
  File "../Lib/httplib.py", line 884, in test
    status, reason, headers = hs.getreply()
  File "../Lib/httplib.py", line 734, in getreply
    response = self._conn.getresponse()
  File "../Lib/httplib.py", line 579, in getresponse
    response = self.response_class(self.sock)
  File "../Lib/httplib.py", line 99, in __init__
    self.fp = sock.makefile('rb', 0)
  File "../Lib/httplib.py", line 614, in makefile
    buf = self.__ssl.read()
socket.sslerror: (1, 'error:1408F10B:SSL 
routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number')

And the gdb stack trace.
