Summary: Exception when handling http response

Initial Comment:
When handling the return from a web server that dooes
not return the content length(one I wrote) httplib
takes an exception at line 478.

The line of code in question is 
if self.length is not None:

and should probably read
if self.length is not None and self.length != _UNKNOWN:

The problem is that self.length is no longer
initialized to None
