[issue1627] Problem with httplib and Content-Length: -1

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

Your proposed fixed is not correct:

        length = self.msg.getheader("content-length")
        if length and not self.chunked:
            try:
                self.length = int(length)
            except ValueError:
                pass
        # patch
        if self.length < 0:
            self.length = None
