I have raised a "bug" 125 for boto ( http://code.google.com/p/boto/issues/detail?id=125 ) in relation to this problem, because if httplib.py is not fixed in Python 2.5, then any code calling httplib.py has to work around it by handling a ValueError exception when it occurs. With regard to the fix in Python 2.6, and reading through the httplib.py source, I conclude: * IncompleteRead(value) means something like "we were expecting to read X bytes but actually there aren't any more, and so far we have read value". * This meaning does not quite describe the error which this issue is about, which really needs its own separate exception class, e.g. InvalidHttpResponseChunkSize(value, badSize) meaning "we were expecting to read the size of the next chunk, but badSize is not a valid number, and so far we have read value)
