Hi Glenn,

Yep, that fix works for me, thanks! Next time I'll be sure to check
resolved bugs (I only checked open ones) and the source code trunk.

I did notice that only one instance of the regular expression was changed.
I'm not using chunked encoding with trailers, so it's hard for me to verify
whether this indeed is a bug, but I think this line also needs to be fixed:
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/annotate/head:/lisp/url/url-http.el#L1037

Best,
James
