  #9032: XML-RPC client: Transport.request() retries on EPIPE error

  The EPIPE error occurs when the server closes the socket and the client sends a
  "big" XML-RPC request (I don't know exactly the size threshold).

  request() just have to ignore the error because single_request() closes the
  socket on error, and so the next call to single_request() will open a new
  socket.

  Remove also a comment in the HTTP client because it's now wrong: see r70643
  and issue #5542.

In Python 3.1, Transport.request() doesn't retry on socket error.
