I think before deciding to take over ownership of an upstream lib (which
is a large commitment over space and time), we should figure out the
migration cost. All the uses in Tempest come from usage in Glance IIRC
(and dealing with chunked encoding).
Neutron seems to use it for a couple of proxies, but that seems like
requests/urllib3 might be sufficient.
The Neutron team should talk to Cory Benfield (CC'd) and myself more about this
if they run into problems. requests and urllib3 are a little limited with
respect to proxies due to limitations in httplib itself.
Both of us might be able to dedicate time during the day to fix this if
Neutron/OpenStack have specific requirements that requests is not currently
capable of supporting.
Looks like neutron is using it to do HTTP requests via unix domain sockets.
Unless I’m missing something, requests doesn’t support that directly. There are
a couple of other libs that do, or we could monkey patch the socket. Or modify
the agents to use localhost.
We have to use Unix domain sockets in the metadata proxy because it's running in
a namespace, so can't use localhost to talk to the agent. But we could use some
other library of course.
