Summary: httplib.HTTPConnection sends extra blank line

Initial Comment:
It seems that line 594 of httplib.py:

       self._buffer.extend(("", ""))

Causes the insertion of an extra \r\n so that at the end of the 
headers an extra blank line is submitted. This can create problems 
when PUTting files because the extra line gets treated as part of 
the payload and can thus cause the truncation of the end of the file 
on servers that are listening to the Content-Length header.

I think that:


       self._buffer.extend(("", ))

fixes the issue but I am not quite sure whether this is there for 
some other reason.
