so compatible with the Python standard library's :mod:`io`
    module, and can hence be treated as a readable object in the context of that
    framework.

    Extra parameters for behaviour not present in httplib.HTTPResponse:

    :param preload_content:
        If True, the response's body will be preloaded during construction.

    :param decode_content:
        If True, will attempt to decode the body based on the
        'content-encoding' header.

    :param original_response:
        When this HTTPResponse wrapper is generated from an httplib.HTTPResponse
        object, it's convenient to include the original for debug purposes. It's
        otherwise unused.

    :param retries:
        The retries contains the last :class:`~urllib3.util.retry.Retry` that
        was used during the request.

    :param enforce_content_length:
        Enforce content length checking. Body returned by server must match
        value of Content-Length header, if present. Otherwise, raise error.
