Summary: AssertionError in httplib.py

Initial Comment:
[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/192452]

When running bittorrent for a few hours, I start seeing
this assertion fire in
httplib.py from the Python 2.2 libraries:

Exception in thread Thread-20:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/threading.py", line 414, in
__bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/threading.py", line 402, in run
    apply(self.__target, self.__args, self.__kwargs)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/BitTorrent/Rerequester.py",
line 76, in rerequest
    r = h.read()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/httplib.py", line 1140, in read
    assert not self._line_consumed and self._line_left
AssertionError

can be reproduced with 2.3 as well.

I do see this assertition triggered in another context:

- make a request
- when the request returns, the result code is 200
- trying to read the data returned triggers the assertion

I found out the server sider crashes/is crashed, so
probably no data is returned. maybe httplib could be a
bit more robust or throw a correct exception.
