[issue3058] Let SimpleXMLRPCServer pass client_address to called functions.

samwyse added the comment: More importantly, the dispatch method is now part of the SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher, which (as a mix-in class) has no direct access to the RequestHandler instance that comprises the request. This breaks Victor's and my idea, unless one is willing to subclass SimpleXMLRPCR

samwyse added the comment: A more general solution would be to pass the RequestHandler instance as a parameter to the dispatch function. This would allow the function to pick out more than just the client address. To avoid breaking pre-existing code, this should be made optional, perhaps by ad

[issue3058] Let SimpleXMLRPCServer pass client_address to called functions.

New submission from Kunshan Wang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I recently wrote a program making use of SimpleXMLRPCServer. It has a function that responds to the caller according to the caller's IP address. However the current SimpleXMLRPCServer does not allow me to do this (directly). For example: de
