I think it makes sense to make httplib identical. The changes to httplib have all been intended to make it more robust.

My one worry is that a set of changes I made may have broken pipelined https requests in order to fix a different set of bugs. I had intended to check whether pipelined https requests actually worked in 2.2.1.

Ooh! Delagation! This is now your problem :) If you (or someone else) don't get to it before 2.2.2's release date, I'll just dump the trunk's version into the branch. Cheers, M. -- Premature optimization is the root of all evil. -- Donald E. Knuth, Structured Programming with goto Statements
