Summary: failing http-4.5

Initial Comment:
With current HEAD, http-4.5 fails on WinXP (static msys build).

Problem can be fixed by opening the working file in binary mode.

(FWIW, this is the only failure I get in the whole Tcl test suite.)

A few [puts] later, we get currentsize==114 and totalsize==111, and there
are exactly three CRLFs in the produced file (which is initially made of
LFs).

Now to explain why the size after translation is used... I notice the use
of [tell] on the -channel. Could it be the culprit ? Why that strange
method ?
