I'm fine with disabling this feature in xmlrpclib.py, and possibly even in httplib.py. I'm not fine with "fixing" this behavior in socket.py -- the unittest coverage is unfortunately small and we have had plenty of trouble in this area in the past. It is there for a reason, even if that reason is hard to fathom and poorly documented. Fortunately in 3.0 it's gone (or, more likely, replaced with a different set of issues :-).
