_raise_service_error Fails when there is no Body in the Response

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a write query you know will fail 
2. mqlwrite(query)
3. Freebase will return a status 400 without a Request body

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

_raise_service_error does not fail, and mqlwrite raises a MetawebError.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.6.0

Please provide any additional information below.

Here is how I have fixed the bug in locally.  See line 88 of httpclients.py.  
This fix will accommodate scenarios where no body is returned, but still 
properly raise the MetawebError. 

if resp.status_code != 200:
  try:
    body = resp.body
  except AttributeError:
    body = "" 
  self._raise_service_error(url, resp.status_code, 
                                      resp.headers['content-type'], body)
