Hi,

looking at the xmlrpc client code, it looks like it still does HTTP 1.0 only.

Did anyone try to hook it up to the new HTTPConnectionPool and HTTP11ClientProtocol in twisted.web.client?

How hard should it be to do that, any pointers on how to do a conversion?

I'm mostly interested in the persistent connections feature of HTTP1.1 (due to TLS setup costs for new connections and burning through too many client sockets when many calls are made).

I think the ticket you're looking for is https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7012 <https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7012>. And it looks like nobody has done anything there, so you can be the first person to submit a patch! :) -glyph
