AttributeError: 'HTTPMessage' object has no attribute 'getheaders'

[Senthil Kumaran]

This bug is from the latest codeline of distribute ( from tarek's branch). It should be fixed in there. Following the recent changes in cpython line, I saw that distribute was monkeypatching httplib and a fix was made in cpython, perhaps the same should be ported here.

It will be observed, whenever the setup tries to  download the package from pypi or any other remote repo.
