XML-RPC and firewall [solution]

[Jeffrey Kunce]

I have been playing with XML-RPC on my intranet, but
found that Fredrik's xmlrpclib.py wouldn't talk to external 
servers through our firewall.

Since urllib has proxy-server support built-in, I wrote a 
urllib-based transport plugin for xmlrpclib.py (attached).
Now I can speak XML-RPC with the rest of the world :-)

Testing on this has been minimal - use at your own risk.
If it checks out, maybe /F will include it in the distribution.
