[issue8572] httplib getheader() throws error instead of default

Little more info:

The actual snippet from couchdb-python is:

  if int(resp.getheader('content-length', sys.maxsize)) < CHUNK_SIZE:

Which should be valid python . . . calling int() on an integer should work, and calling int() on a string expected to be an integer should work.
