Fix bug with SSL-connection and XMLRPC... ...see my monologue at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/9700 This also fixes a race condition where the forked roundup process would consume 99% CPU resources after the client opens the SSL connection but doesn't send anything, e.g., s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect(('localhost', 443)) ssl_sock = socket.ssl(s)
