[issue10577] (Fancy) URL opener stuck when trying to open redirected url

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

That line of code (`void = fp.read()`) dates back to a commit by Guido in 1995, and isn't motivated by any comment or message. HTTP servers probably have evolved till then :)
