I find this very very unlikely. What makes you draw this conclusion? HTTP is
entirely stateless and the only violation in normal use is the NTLM
authenticaton and I don't see you use that. Persistent connection or not is
most likely not at all your problem.

Bad POST data, bad cookie handling or insufficient "user-agent-forging"
headers are much more likely to be your issue.

But yes, using pycurl you can make most if not all requests using the same
persistent connection.

The general trick is to run the curl command with "--libcurl dump.c" to see
the C version of the command line, and writing the pycurl version from that
should be fairly trivial.
