json decoding broken over httptest in tip, works in 1.4.

[tho...@habets.se]

Or alternatively, I just missed something stupid.

Summary:

Decoding from a bytes.Buffer works.

Decoding from a httptest errors with "EOF"

Example code:

http://play.golang.org/p/T97P6VRtoR

Output with 1.4:

$ go run lalatest.go

Decoding with bytes.Buffer: <nil>

Decoding with http stream: <nil>

Yes, "{ \"foo\": \"bar\" }" really is "{ \"foo\": \"bar\" }"

Output with tip (129cfa2745a3db0fd55fd13fd46da0e75b9ce7dc):

$ go run lalatest.go 

Decoding with bytes.Buffer: <nil>

Decoding with http stream: EOF

Yes, "{ \"foo\": \"bar\" }" really is "{ \"foo\": \"bar\" }"

I don't expect any differences in decoding the same data (it really should be the same data) from a bytes.Buffer and over HTTP.

Some more verbose example:
