Summary: urllib2.urlopen() hangs due to use of socket._fileobject?

Initial Comment:
To reproduce:

import urllib2
print urllib2.urlopen("http://66.117.37.13/").read()


The attached patch "fixes" the hang, but that patch is
not acceptable because it also removes the .readline()
and .readlines() methods on the response object
returned by urllib2.urlopen().

The patch seems to demonstrate that the problem is
caused by the (ab)use of socket._fileobject in
urllib2.AbstractHTTPHandler (I believe this hack was
introduced when urllib2 switched to using
httplib.HTTPConnection).

Not sure yet what the actual problem is...
