I think it makes sense to make httplib identical.  The changes to
httplib have all been intended to make it more robust.  

My one worry is that a set of changes I made may have broken pipelined
https requests in order to fix a different set of bugs.  I had
intended to check whether pipelined https requests actually worked in
2.2.1.
