      RAPI client: Switch to pycURL · 2a7c3583
      Michael Hanselmann authored
      
      Currently the RAPI client uses the urllib2 and httplib modules from
      Python's standard library. They're used with pyOpenSSL in a very fragile
      way, and there are known issues when receiving large responses from a RAPI
      server.
      
      By switching to PycURL we leverage the power and stability of the
      widely-used curl library (libcurl). This brings us much more flexibility
      than before, and timeouts were easily implemented (something that would
      have involved a lot of work with the built-in modules).
      
      There's one small drawback: Programs using libcurl have to call
      curl_global_init(3) (available as pycurl.global_init) while exactly one
      thread is running (e.g. before other threads) and are supposed to call
      curl_global_cleanup(3) (available as pycurl.global_cleanup) upon exiting.
      See the manpages for details. A decorator is provided to simplify this.
      
      Unittests for the new code are provided, increasing the test coverage of
      the RAPI client from 74% to 89%.
