                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-169
             Project: XML-RPC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Source
    Affects Versions: 3.1.3
         Environment: Solaris
            Reporter: Alan Burlison


An isnstance of XmlRpcClient creates a new connection to the server for every 
request that is made via it.  That's *horrendously* expensive where the 
connection is a SSL connection.

Here's a trace, note the repeated connect() calls.

And if you assume that a major use of the Apache XML-RPC client is with the 
Apache XML-RPC server, it means the keepalive support in the server is a total 
waste of time.
