two fixes for redirects:
- don't close the fp, since that appears to also close the socket
- join the original url with the redirect reponse to deal with
relative redirect URL
wrap two socket ops in try/except to turn them into URLErrors, so that
client code need only catch one exception.
in HTTPError.__del__ only close fp if fp is not None
style changes:
- use f(*args) instead of apply(f, args)
- use __super_init instead of super.__init__(self, ...)
