Summary: urllib.urlopen for https doesn't always provide readlines

Initial Comment:
The doc for urllib.urlopen says that the object

returned supports readlines.  However, I have a simple

case where it doesn't seem to raise IOError, but

readlines isn't provided.



The initial problem seems to be in addbase.__init__,

which tests fp for readlines, but doesn't do anything

if it's not there.  Presumably it should either provide

a dummy or raise an error (or alternatively, change the

documented behavior to match).

SSLFile was providing a minimal set of file operations. 

Patch #817854 adds all methods that the urllib documentation

expects.
