[wp-testers] Error with auto-upgrade to 2.8.1

[Kim Parsell]

I downloaded the new http.php file you linked to, and uploaded it to my 
server. Logged into the admin section, went to Tools>>Upgrade and tried 
the auto-update again, and it worked - upgrade was completed 
successfully this time.

Thanks so much Dion for your help!
