Thanks for the solution Olivier,
but on the other hand - shouldn't your "XmlRpcClientPlus" class somehow go
into the release?
IMHO, XmlRpcClient should offer those proxy-settings via Constructor - if
it's not on the "Commit" list for development already, it should urgently
go there, 'cause I can imagine it's frequently needed...
Cheers,
Martin
