Martin Panter added the comment: I wrote a basic “urllib.request” handler class that I have been using for HTTP persistent connections. It is called PersistentConnectionHandler; see
https://github.com/vadmium/python-iview/blob/80dc1b4/iview/hds.py#L442 I am happy for this to be used as the basis for a patch for Python, or elsewhere. It manages a single connection. You pass an instance to urllib.request.build_opener(), and then it connects to whatever host is specified when open() is called. Any old connection is closed when you ask for a URL on a new host. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9740> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
