Upon further investigation, the slowness appears to be related to this bug report: http://bugs.python.org/issue508157 Applying the fix given in the bug report speeds up httplib immensely. So now the question becomes, what is the best way to implement this? Should I go ahead and subclass most of httplib, or is there an easier way? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
