Jacky added the comment:

In my opinion, HTTPResponse.close() should do really close work. Not only 
releasing the underlying file obj but also need to consume the remaining data 
to make sure the request complete.

If close() does not consume the remaining data, the user would have to do it 
after invoking close(), regardless of how large the data is. But how do do it, 
the HTTPResponse has been closed. So we have to use HTTPConnection.sock to do 
read work. However, this looks somewhat weird.
