 yep.

red herring.  increasing the connection limit still does not solve the
problem, because you are still thinking in terms of threads.

yes, basically.

the "target" or "back-end" web server _must_ support HTTP Keep-Alives i.e.
it must continue to keep open the same HTTP connection and never die unless
there is a problem (or a pre-determined deliberate timeout).

the connection limit is a red herring.  you _musn't_ do "threaded" psycopg2
connections (unless you can guarantee that the threads are isolated from
each other) because the last thing you want is one user's credentials on one
thread to be accidentally "shared" with another thread.

so to be on the safe side, the demo SimpleJSONRPCServer.py uses ForkingMixin
not ThreadedMixin.
