An improper change in httplib.py

Thu Jan 22 17:35:52 EST 2015

Have reported an issue http://bugs.python.org/issue23300.
"That leading underscore in the method name means it is not a public
API and thus changes are allowed without any backwards-compatibility
guarantees. Mercurial will need to update their code to handle this if
they want to continue to use the method."
I checked the official mercurial repo, it does not use the method
anymore, so I filed a bug to fedora. [1]
