Summary: xmlrpclib ServerProxy uses old httplib interface

Initial Comment:
The ServerProxy class of the xmlrpclib module uses the old style HTTP / HTTPS classes of the httplib module rather than the newer HTTPConnection and HTTPConnection classes.

The practical result of this is that xmlrpc connections are not able to make use of HTTP/1.1 functionality. 

Please update the xmlrpclib module to use the newer API provided by httplib so that the advanced functionality of HTTP/1.1 is available.
