On Py-dev, Fredrik Lundh wrote "The xmlrpclib.py changes looks ok.  I'll
leave it to other reviewers to check the rest."

Patch set 4 looks fine to me, please apply it to 2.7 and 3.2.

Commited to 2.7 in revision 73638

I'm working on the 3.2 port, it needs some manual work.

committed to py3k in revision 73742

Before r73742, test_socketserver and test_urllib2_localnet work, after
this patchset is applied there are failures.  This is on Gentoo linux,
py3k.  See also issue 6381 and issue 6382, which are the same problems
on trunk.  (The test_urllib2_localnet failure seems to now be
consistently repeatable on my machine, for whatever reason.)

The port to py3k has an error, see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2009-July/084734.html
Indexing is no more allowed on exception objects. it may be replaced
with e.args[0], or better, with e.errno.

Fixed exception handling in
revision 73820
and
revision 73821 and revision 73822

I've submitted a fix to 6381 in the trunk.  6382 is less clear to me, I
must take a closer look.

Added more regression tests in revision 73986 and revision 73987

xmlrpclib, DocXMLRPCServer and SimpleXMLRPCServer cannot be imported
after r73638 if zlib is missing, see #6499.

I opened a bug report introduced by this issue: #6907:
xmlrpclib.make_connection() is not thread safe.

There are duplicate issues about HTTP/1.1: #2076, #1767370.

Another duplicate: #1613573.

Ok, all duplicate issues are now closed (#1613573, #1767370, #2076).
