Quite confident; the previous code didn't do what the standard spells
out, but with my fix it does.  I have also tested it with downloads from
Emacswiki.

It eats whitespace at a point where it isn't significant, so nothing
should break.

[It would be nice if there were a test suite for the URL package.  It
seems to be that the easiest way to implement that would be if it were
possible to make pipes (as in the system call) that behave as pairs of
Lisp processes, so that the test suite can perform a fake conversation
with the client code...]
