IncompleteRead error when searching from vechai.info

To reproduce, search any manga title and observe that no result from vechai appears. Looking at the logs shows that a request to http://vechai.info/search/items.js has failed:

The SDK's local devserver says it's an IncompleteRead error:

Which, according to a blog post, can be "fixed" by patching httplib.HTTPResponse.read: http://bobrochel.blogspot.com/2010/11/bad-servers-chunked-encoding-and.html

I'll disable vechai for now until I can find a clean fix (or abandon it forever. Stupid site...)
