Hello,
i checked the http headers (with tcpdump):
the xmlrpc-client sends a http 1.1 request with
Connection: keep-alive
in the header. This is useless in http 1.1 because - permanent connections are the default - only "Connection: Close" is supported
The server sends the response without a "Connection:" entry in the (http 1.1) header. This means the client should keep the connection open.
After a few seconds, the client closes the connection.
Does the client expect a "Connection: keep-alive" from the server?

Michael,
Are you sure the client is closing the connection and not the server?
The server needs to support and allow keep-alive.
When you setKeepAlive(true) you are simply telling the server that want and can handle a persistent connection.
The Server will normally respond whether will it allow keep-alive using,
Connection: Keep-Alive -or- Connection: close
see http://www.io.com/~maus/HttpKeepAlive.html for more info.
Check the header in the response to see how the server is responding.
The best way to check is to use a sniffer (like Ethereal http://www.ethereal.com/)
