Thanks! I'll try that one too to find the easiest solution. For portability, it is easier to use a new transport class and not have to patch files of the Python distribution.
Using a similar strategy, I used this class just before I read about your patch, which works fine too: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-April/256360.html Could you comment on the difference between this class and yours? You might want to include on your site how to use the class in a reallife example, i.e. like the other class does: import httplib, xmlrpclib s = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://SOMEURL', transport=PersistTransport()) I agree with you on xmlrpclib needed an upgrade, but in the past could not find anybody 'responsible' and knowledgeable enough to do this. Although I do feel responsible for open source development, I do not have the python knowledge to propose a fix myself! Bye, Arno. itkovian wrote: > Arno, > >> Your patches solves the problem too.
