Cosmetic bug or compliance fixes in http.Response.

(1) http.Response must close resp.Body after writing.
(2) Case when resp.Body != nil and resp.ContentLength = 0 should not be
treated as an error in Response.Write, because this is what
ReadResponse often returns.
(3) Changed body.th to body.hdr for readability.
