Compat definition since superclass does not define it.

Returns a tuple consisting of:
- server status code (e.g. '200' if all goes well)
- server "reason" corresponding to status code
- any RFC822 headers in the response from the server

hmm.

if getresponse() ever closes the socket on a bad request, then we are going to have problems with self.sock should we keep this behavior? do people use it? keep the socket open (as a file), and return it
