SimpleHTTPServer send wrong Content-Length for text/* on Windows?

hi, I noticed while trying a simple (but still very useful) server based on SimpleHTTP that it does report a wrong "Content-Length" for "text/*" files if Windows line-end "\r\n" is used. Most clients (e.g. browsers) do simply ignore a wrong Content-Length but there are programs that do care and

Asynchronous urllib (urllib+asyncore)?

So, I ran into a problem that I would like to write as little code as possible to solve. The problem is that I would like to send out a bunch of HTTP requests simultaneously, using asynchronous techniques, and then do stuff with the results in parallel. Think of something like Google's map-reduce.
