Previously the HTTP client's (*Response).Body.Close would try to keep reading until EOF, hoping to reuse the keep-alive HTTP connection, but the EOF might never come, or it might take a long time. Now we immediately close the TCP connection if we haven't seen EOF. This shifts the burden onto clients to read their whole response bodies if they want the advantage of reusing TCP connections. In the future maybe we could decide on heuristics to read some number of bytes for some max amount of time before forcefully closing, but I'd rather not for now. Statistically, touching this code makes things regress, so I wouldn't be surprised if this introduces new bugs, but all the tests pass, and I think the code is simpler now too. Maybe. Please test your HTTP client code before Go 1.1. Fixes #3672 R=golang-dev, adg CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/7419050 |

README
This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.
Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
