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

[Dion Hulse(DD32)]

try manually uploading the wp-includes/http.php file from 2.8.1 available  
here[1] and see if the upgrade then works?

I actually doubt it'll help honestly, but no harm in trying.

It sounds like the Curl Transport is returning non-complete data (Which  
was the exact reason for that trac ticket) - Unfortunately bugs fixed in  
2.8.1 are only available after the upgrade is complete..

1: new http.php file:
