Description:
------------
OAuth::fetch returns FALSE if the response is empty (Content-Length 0).  As far 
as I can tell, there is no reason that should be considered a failure.  A simple 
test you can use on any HTTPS URL with an empty response:

I'm guessing this happens because soo->lastresponse.c remains NULL until some 
content has been appended.

Test script:
---------------
$oauth = new OAuth('foo', 'bar');
if ($oauth->fetch('https://example.com/empty') === FALSE) {
  echo("false\n");
}


Expected result:
----------------
No output.

Actual result:
--------------
Prints "false".

To clarify, I mean that it returns FALSE if the response body is empty.  The HTTP 
response is otherwise well-formed.

I think it's fine to return TRUE if the HTTP response code was 200 instead of 
FALSE. If the HTTP response code was not a 200 we would still return FALSE.
 [2012-05-24 20:56 UTC] jawed@php.net 
Err, if the code was in 20X not 200.
