[Python-Dev] Tests failing in MacPython 2.2.2

No problemo.

Is in Barry's capable hands.

Probably a line ending problem.  I notice that those two lines end
with \r\n!  I don't understand why the test uses \r\n.  I propose to
change all the \r\n to \n in test_httplib.py and ditto in
output/test_httplib.  If you can get that working, feel free to check
it in; or I can do it.
