Description Flags
XML-RPC over SSL over HTTP/1.0 none

Description Dan Kenigsberg 2010-09-06 19:53:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
Negotiating a new connection for every xmlrpc call is wasteful in bandwidth and cpu, particularly if HTTPS is used. Better use an existing connection, if available. This is already supported in python 2.7 (supposedly; I did not try if it works). Please backport to RHEL6's python.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.6.5-3.el6.x86_64
Comment 2 Dan Kenigsberg 2010-09-12 08:47:10 UTC 
I have no proposed patch; I care much more about the server side than about xmlrpclib. I want SimpleXMLServer to not shut down the TCP connection of a client that supports HTTP/1.1.

XML-RPC over SSL over HTTP/1.0

I am not sure that's what you are looking for, but the code I need to optimize is attached. There, each xml-rpc call ends with a shutdown by SimpleXMLRPCServer, which means that the established connection cannot be reused event if the client supports HTTP/1.1.
