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).

I'm not sure what the protocol is for responding to bug
fixes, but I do want to thank the folks responsible for
getting this fixed.

SSLFile was providing a minimal set of file operations. 
Patch #817854 adds all methods that the urllib documentation
expects.
