This class can be used by F5 modules for raising exceptions.
This should be used to handle known errors and raise them so
that they can be printed in the fail_json method.
The common Exception class built-in should not be used because
it hides tracebacks that are necessary to have when debugging
problems with the module.
This patch adds the port argument as a valid parameter to the f5_spec.
This argument is supported in bigsuds version 1.0.4 and greater, so
this patch uses the __version__ variable of the bigsuds module to
determine when the port value should be honored by the module.
* Fix to error if validate_cert is True and python doesn't support it.
* Only globally disable certificate checking if really needed. Use
bigip verify parameter if available instead.
* Remove public disable certificate function to make it less likely
people will attempt to reuse that
The contributor's name on line 10 (originally line 7) includes a character
that the default Python encoding (ASCII) raises an error on when interpreting
the file.
Specifying the utf-8 encoding, as is done in other modules, resolves
the error.
The error being raised is
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file /.../lib/ansible/module_utils/f5.py
on line 7, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html
