This bug is pretty serious, because urllib will insert garbage into the application-visible data for a chunked response. It simply ignores the fact that it's reading a chunked response and includes the chunked header data is payload data. The original bug was reported in September, but no one noticed it. It was reported again recently.

I suspect we'd want to get a 3.0.1 out as soon as this is fixed, but that's not my call.
