Summary: HTTPConnection memory leak

Initial Comment:
This may be related to bugs 559117 and 592645.

I am using Python 2.2.1 (#34, 4/9/2002) on Windows 
2000 (5.00.2195, Service Pack 2).  Similar to bug 
559117, I see a steady increase of 4K in the size of the 
process after every 10 seconds or so.  Here's my test 
script:

import httplib
import time

for i in range(1000):
    conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.python.org")
    conn.request("GET", "/index.html")
    r1 = conn.getresponse()
    time.sleep(0.5)
    conn.close()

Tim apparently fixed this problem in 2.3, at least he fixed
a problem. :-)

Could you test w/2.3 and/or 2.2.1+ (do a cvs upd -r
release22-maint)?  2.2.1+ has bug fixes that will be rolled
into 2.2.2.

I built the debug and release versions of 2.2.1 on Windows and still see the problem with both.  I have not had any 
success building 2.3 on Windows.  When I try to build 2.3, I get errors in tokenizer.c.

Just so you know, I have not been able to duplicate the problem on Linux.

I can't duplicate this problem on Linux.  I used valgrind
too.  It's possible this problem was fixed.  

Mark, can you build the version from CVS and see if you
still have the problem?  I think there was a memory leak in
this area, but I'm not sure if it effected windows.  I
cannot test on windows.
