[issue1966] infinite loop in httplib

[Mike Klaas]

New submission from Mike Klaas:

There are a small number of sites that do not send the trailing \r\n when 
using chunked transfer encoding (say 1 in 500,000).  This unfortunately, 
causes httplib to go into an infinite loop.

Fixed by checking for EOF (3 line patch)
