Summary: AssertionError from urllib.retrieve / httplib

Initial Comment:

The following statement is occasionally generating
AssertionErrors:
    current_page = urllib.urlopen(action,data).read()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/zen/bin/autospamrep.py", line 161, in ?
    current_page = handle_spamcop_page(current_page)
  File "/Users/zen/bin/autospamrep.py", line 137, in 
handle_spamcop_page
    current_page = urllib.urlopen(action,data).read()
  File "/sw/lib/python2.3/httplib.py", line 1150, in read
    assert not self._line_consumed and self._line_left


Fix may be to do the following in 
LineAndFileWrapper.__init__ (last two lines are new):

def __init__(self, line, file):
        self._line = line
        self._file = file
        self._line_consumed = 0
        self._line_offset = 0
        self._line_left = len(line)
        if not self._line_left:
            self._done()

Can you reproduce this problem easily?  We've seen something
like it before, but have had trouble figuring out what goes
wrong.

My suggested fix is wrong.
