Persistent XMLRPC Connection

[Chris Spencer]

I noticed the SimpleXMLRPCServer/ServerProxy creates a new socket for
remote procedure call. I've written a simple IP based authentication
scheme for the Server, and I'd like to include the port in the
authentication, which is currently not possible since the port keeps
changing.

I've looked at the code in SimpleXMLRPCServer.py, xmlrpclib.py,
SocketServer.py, and BaseHTTPServer.py, but it's a little overwhelming.
How difficult would it be to reuse connections so that only one port per
persistent client connection is used?

Sincerely,
Chris
