Authorization with NTLM getting AttributeError: HTTPResponse instance has no attribute '__iter__'

[caseydunham]

I'm opening this issue to address the reported issue originally appearing in this Stack Overflow question. I ran into this myself recently and applied the patch and tested that it works. The original patch was in the answer provided by cube on the SO site.

I have not seen this patch mentioned in any current issue open for mechanize and the master version of _response.py does not have the fix.
