[issue6791] httplib read status memory usage

[Ross Lagerwall]

Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerwall at gmail.com> added the comment:

That's true. Near the bottom of the code, it says:

 # The status-line parsing code calls readline(), which normally
 # get the HTTP status line.  For a 0.9 response, however, this is
 # actually the first line of the body!

Limiting the length of the status line would break 0.9 responses so maybe this issue should be closed?
