Nope -- RFC 1945, Section 4.1, BNF for Full-Response on page 22,
second line, says:

  CRLF

So the server is broken. I'm not sure we should fix it, unless we can
be 100% sure it doesn't break something elsewhere.

I should look more closely at the .pm's, but from a glance at your patch
it might break servers who send legal responses that contain headers
and body in a single write, and thus have more than just the header
read in the first read_until?
