[Bug libgcj/14013] HttpURLConnection.receiveReply() does not deal with code only responses

The code only responses that some HTTP servers can send back will cause
recieveReply to fail with a "Server reply was unparseable" IOException.

Commonly webserver repsponses will emit a status code, and a reason phrase as
for example:
  HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
or
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK

This however is not required by RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1), It lists the reason phrase
as optional, and some webservers actually serve out only the status code without
a reason phrase.

When this is the case, the GCJ version of HttpURLConnection.receiveReply() fails
with an IOException of "Server reply was unparseable".

Attached is a patch that will rectify this problem.
