I had the same problem when I implemented sockets on the Mac. The mac
sockets support is a wrapper around the underlying mactcp API. What I
did was to add a class that looks like a file object and implements
the needed calls by calling to the underlying mactcp object.

I haven't looked at httplib.py yet, only at ftplib.py, so it could be
that it needs functionality that is difficult/impossible to emulate
(using self.file.fileno() in select calls comes to mind) but so far
the workaround seems to have held.
