* standardize user/password connection vars
* docs: use ansible_user and ansible_password
* docs: var precedence for connection vars
* docs: ansible_become_pass -> ansible_become_password etc
* Increase persistent command_timeout default value
* Increase command_timeout default value from 10 to 30 sec
to reduce frequent timeout issue for network connection
types (netconf/network_cli/httpapi/napalm)
* Fix review comments
* Add session tracing support for network_cli, netconf and httapi connection
* Add `persistent_log_messages` configuration option to log device inteaction
in log file for network_cli, netconf and httapi connection
type
* Log jsonrpc request and response in log file is configuration option
is enabled
* Update docs to talk about warning shown when persistent_log_messages is on
* Connections can queue messages to be returned from ansible-connection
* Provide fallback for invalid display level
* Strip display from plugins
* Route messages through helper method to try to avoid improper appends
* Bare minimum rip out cliconf
* nxapi changeover
* Update documentation, move options
* Memoize device_info
* Gratuitous rename to underscore use of local api implementation
Fixup eos module_utils like nxos
* Streamline version and image scans
* Expose get_capabilities through module_utils
* Add load_config to module_utils
* Support rpcs using both args and kwargs
* Add get_config for nxos
* Add get_diff
* module context, pulled from nxapi
We could probably do this correctly later
* Fix eos issues
* Limit connection._sub_plugin to only one plugin
* Try to intuit proper plugins to send to ansible-connection
* Move sub-plugins to init so that vars will be populated in executor
* Fix connection unit tests
On all supported Pythons, the io.BytesIO is always a stream
implementation using an in-memory bytes buffer. Makes code slightly more
forward compatible by reducing use of the six module.
* Hold httpapi response in BytesIO
* Let httpapi plugin deal with HTTP codes if it wants
* Python 3.5 won't json.loads() bytes
* Don't modify headers passed to send
* Move code handling back to send()
but let httpapi plugin have a say on how it happens
* Create base class for network-style connections
* clean up some differences
* Move NetworkConnectionBase
* Tweak netconf for tests
* Tweak when network_os is checked to avoid failing tests
* Pull back exec_command
* I seem to have forgotten the back half of tests
* Set http timeout from persistent_command_timeout
* Tweak URL generation and provide URL on error
* Push var_options to connection process
* Don't wait forever if coming from persistent
* Don't send the entire contents of variables to ansible-connection
* HTTPAPI connection
* Punt run_commands to cliconf or httpapi
* Fake enable_mode on eapi
* Pull changes to nxos
* Move load_config to edit_config for future-preparedness
* Don't fail on lldp disabled
* Re-enable check_rc on nxos' run_commands
* Reorganize nxos httpapi plugin for compatibility
* draft docs for connection: httpapi
* restores docs for connection:local for eapi
* Add _remote_is_local to httpapi
