vila added the comment: Well I was confused.
In fact, I have a working http/1.1 client which indeed works around that close. HTTPConnection.close() must be called once the response has been processed or the next request can't be handled since HTTPConnection.__state is not _CS_IDLE. That may be a different problem than the one Bill is after though. I work around it by saving the sock attribute before the call in a class inherited from HTTPConnection: # Preserve our preciousss sock = self.sock self.sock = None # Let httplib.HTTPConnection do its housekeeping self.close() # Restore our preciousss self.sock = sock So not doing the close() is harmless but doing self.sock = None in HTTPConnection.close() still break hopes of persistent connections. May be that method should be splitted... __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1348> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
