[issue1537445] urllib2 httplib _read_chunked timeout

John J Lee <jjlee at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

urlopen() raises URLError, .read() may raise other errors.  I don't
think that's a bug in itself, though no doubt:

 1. The documentation of exceptions raised could and should be improved
 2. The exceptions that can be raised are likely still inconsistent
(though this has improved in Python 2.6, I think)

Recommend closing this bug.

Please open other bugs about the issues above if you have patches.
