[Bug #792570] Under Windows, socket.read() seems to run into trouble when
asked to read tens of megabytes of data. On my Mac, it hits MemoryErrors
when reading around 15Mb in one chunk. The fix is to read the body in several
parts, not as one big piece.
It would be nice to fix the underlying socket.read() problem, too.
2.4 bugfix candidate.
