FYI: PR 28580 - HTTP fixes...

[David Daney]

I just committed the fix for PR 28580 to classpath.

The problem was that in cases where there is no response body, a 
persistent connection would never be returned to the connection pool. 
Also if you tried to read a body from a HEAD request where the server 
indicated chucked-encoding, the read would hang (instead of immediately 
returning EOF).

Earlier today I committed a mauve testcase for this problem.

Do we want to bring this into libgcj before this would be imported also?
