UnsupportedOperation 'seek' when loading excel files from urllib3.response.HTTPResponse object

[onsimon]

0.25.1 seems to have reintroduced #20434

Update: not the case, but the same problem happens when feeding excel_read() with an urllib3.response.HTTPResponse object. Code sample updated.

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas
import requests

url = "https://raw.github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/master/pandas/tests/io/data/test1.xls"
r = requests.get(url, stream=True)
df = pandas.read_excel(r.raw)
print(df)

Problem description

Using 0.25.1 I get the same problem and output as described in #20434 with the code above.

Expected Output

See #20434
