Update length attribute correctly when read() returns
less than the expected number of bytes.  Addresses bug

Patch basically looks good, but I'm worrying about the bit
of code in the current httplib.py, in the block commented
with '# unbounded read'.

Why the switch on .will_close?  Shouldn't the switch be on
(self.length is None), instead?  I could well be missing
something, but this looks like another bug of the same kind
as in the original report.

Also, how about the various .readline() calls?  Might they
also return less than a full line?

Jeremy, you know about HTTP stuff, right?
