Hmm, that is worrying.

I've been using httplib in a multi-threaded situation with no problems
at all (Python 2.3a2, Win 2k). The usage is for load testing, where I
run multiple "virtual" users to load a server, and each runs in its own
thread. Httplib is used simultaneously in every thread: Hasn't given me
a single problem.

I don't share 'HTTPConnection's between threads though. What are you
sharing between the threads that could be causing the problem?
