Through urllib2 open web pages from some sites (www.rbc.ru, www.rambler.ru, www.yandex.ru). Their servers send data in chuncked transfer-encoding. httplib (which is used by urllib2) "unchunk" data but I recieve "transfer-encoding: chuncked" in response header nevertheless. It seems to me that this key in header need to be removed from the header if httplib "unchuncked" the data.

I don't think we should change this -- it sounds like gratuitous
breakage to me, and I also don't see the reason why httplib should throw
away an HTTP header just because the user isn't likely to need it.
