- <div class="post-content">
- <h2>Background</h2>
-
-<p>I've just pushed a branch of the latest version of libcloud using the popular <code>requests</code> package by Kenneth Reitz instead of our home-rolled HTTP client library.</p>
-
-<p>This article is for both users and developers of libcloud. If you want to give feedback, please join the developer mailing list.</p>
-
-<h2>Why?</h2>
-
-<ul>
-<li>requests is the defacto standard - it would be in the standard library but agreed against to allow it to develop faster https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2424</li>
-<li>it works with python 2.6->3.5</li>
-<li>Our SSL experience has a lot to be desired for Windows users, having to download the CA cert package and setting environment variables just to get SSL working</li>
-<li>Developers can use requests_mock for deeper integration testing</li>
-<li>less code to maintain</li>
-<li>the role of libcloud is for cloud abstraction, we provide no value in writing and maintaining our own HTTP client library</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Benefits of requests</h2>
-
-<p>There are a number of benefits to having a requests package</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>The client library code is smaller, leaner and simpler.</li>
-<li>Requests has built in decompression support, we no longer need to support this</li>
-<li>Requests has built in RAW download, upload support, helping with our storage drivers</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Implications of the change</h2>
-
-<ul>
-<li>There are no longer 2 classes (<code>LibcloudHTTPSConnection</code> and <code>LibcloudHTTPConnection</code>) to be provided to each driver, they are now 1 class - <code>LibcloudConnection</code>. You probably won't notice this because it is a property of the <code>Connection</code> class, but
-if you are developing or extending functionality then it is implicated.</li>
-<li>Unit tests will look slightly different (see below)</li>
-<li>This change broke 4200 unit tests (out of 6340)! I've since fixed them all since they were coupled to the original implementation, but now I don't know if all of tests are valid.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Testing with requests</h2>

-<h1>Check it out!</h1>
-
-<p>The package is on my personal apache site, you can download it and install it in a virtualenv for testing.</p>
-
-<p><code>pip install -e http://people.apache.org/~anthonyshaw/libcloud/1.0.0-rc2-requests/apache-libcloud-1.0.0-rc2-requests.zip@feature#egg=apache-libcloud</code></p>
-
-<p>The hashes are my <a href="http://people.apache.org/%7Eanthonyshaw/libcloud/1.0.0-rc2-requests/">apache space</a></p>
-
-<p>Have a look at the <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/728/files">PR and the change set</a> for a list of changes</p>
-
-<h1>What might break?</h1>
-
-<p>What I'm really looking for is for users of Libcloud to take 15 minutes, an existing (working) libcloud script, install this package in a virtualenv and just validate
-that there are no regression bugs with this change.</p>
-
-<p>I'm particularly sceptical about the storage drivers.</p>
-
-<p>Once we have enough community feedback, we will propose a vote to merge this into trunk for future release.</p>

- <p>With Libcloud 1.0.0 around the corner, it's time to have a spring clean of the compute drivers. Granted, it's not spring everywhere -actually
-I'm writing from Sydney, Australia where it's definitely summer.</p>
-
-<p>Looking at the 52 providers in the 0.21.0 release, I have identified 5 providers that are no longer available or open.</p>

-<h3>Handling deprecated drivers</h3>
-
-<p>For 1.0.0, we need a clean and user-friendly way of handling deprecated drivers as well as keeping the repository clean from legacy code.</p>
-
-<p>The most obvious implementation is that calls to <code>get_driver(Provider.NINEFOLD)</code> as an example will return a user error message saying
-this provider is no longer supported with a link to a new article and an alternative solution.</p>
-
-<p>Currently, users trying to instantiate a HPE public cloud driver for example will get a connection error, which is not user friendly.</p>
-
-<h3>New compute drivers in 1.0.0-pre2</h3>
-
-<p>The upcoming release, so currently available in trunk contains some new compute drivers.</p>

+<li>it works with python 2.6->3.5</li>
+<li>Our SSL experience has a lot to be desired for Windows users, having to download the CA cert package and setting environment variables just to get SSL working</li>
+<li>Developers can use requests_mock for deeper integration testing</li>
+<li>less code to maintain</li>
+<li>the role of libcloud is for cloud abstraction, we provide no value in writing and maintaining our own HTTP client library</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Benefits of requests</h2>
+
+<p>There are a number of benefits to having a requests package</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The client library code is smaller, leaner and simpler.</li>
+<li>Requests has built in decompression support, we no longer need to support this</li>
+<li>Requests has built in RAW download, upload support, helping with our storage drivers</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Implications of the change</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>There are no longer 2 classes (<code>LibcloudHTTPSConnection</code> and <code>LibcloudHTTPConnection</code>) to be provided to each driver, they are now 1 class - <code>LibcloudConnection</code>. You probably won't notice this because it is a property of the <code>Connection</code> class, but
+if you are developing or extending functionality then it is implicated.</li>
+<li>Unit tests will look slightly different (see below)</li>
+<li>This change broke 4200 unit tests (out of 6340)! I've since fixed them all since they were coupled to the original implementation, but now I don't know if all of tests are valid.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Testing with requests</h2>

+<h1>What might break?</h1>
+
+<p>What I'm really looking for is for users of Libcloud to take 15 minutes, an existing (working) libcloud script, install this package in a virtualenv and just validate
+that there are no regression bugs with this change.</p>
+
+<p>I'm particularly sceptical about the storage drivers.</p>

+ <p>With Libcloud 1.0.0 around the corner, it's time to have a spring clean of the compute drivers. Granted, it's not spring everywhere -actually
+I'm writing from Sydney, Australia where it's definitely summer.</p>

+<h3>Handling deprecated drivers</h3>
+
+<p>For 1.0.0, we need a clean and user-friendly way of handling deprecated drivers as well as keeping the repository clean from legacy code.</p>
+
+<p>The most obvious implementation is that calls to <code>get_driver(Provider.NINEFOLD)</code> as an example will return a user error message saying
+this provider is no longer supported with a link to a new article and an alternative solution.</p>
+
+<p>Currently, users trying to instantiate a HPE public cloud driver for example will get a connection error, which is not user friendly.</p>
+
+<h3>New compute drivers in 1.0.0-pre2</h3>
+
+<p>The upcoming release, so currently available in trunk contains some new compute drivers.</p>

- <div class="post-content">
- <p>This is an announcement for users of the Linode driver for Libcloud who might
-have started experiencing issues recently.</p>
-
-<h2>Background</h2>
-
-<p>A couple of Libcloud users have reported that they have recently started
-experiencing issues when talking to the Linode API using Libcloud. They have
-received messages similar to the one shown below.</p>
-
-<pre>
-socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
-</pre>
-
-<p>It turns out that the issue is related to the used SSL / TLS version. For
-compatibility and security reasons (Libcloud also supports older Python
-versions), Libcloud uses TLS v1.0 by default.</p>
-
-<p>Linode recently dropped support for TLS v1.0 and it now only support TLS >=
-v1.1. This means Libcloud won't work out of the box anymore.</p>
-
-<h2>Solution</h2>
-
-<p>If you are experiencing this issue, you should update your code to use TLS v1.2
-or TLS v1.1 as shown below.</p>
-
-<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="text language-text" data-lang="text">import ssl
-
-import libcloud.security
-libcloud.security.SSL_VERSION = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_1
-# or even better if your system and Python version supports TLS v1.2
-libcloud.security.SSL_VERSION = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2
-
-# Instantiate and work with the Linode driver here...
-</code></pre></div>
-
-<p>Keep in mind that for this to work you need to have a recent version of OpenSSL
-installed on your system and you need to use Python >= 3.4 or Python 2.7.9.</p>
-
-<p>For more details please see recently updated <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/other/ssl-certificate-validation.html#changing-used-ssl-tls-version">documentation</a>. If you are
-still experiencing issues or have any questions, please feel free to reach
-us via the mailing list or IRC.</p>
-
-<p>Note: Even if you are not experiencing any issues, it's generally a good idea
-to use the highest version of TLS supported by your system and the provider you
-use.</p>
-
-<h2>Quick note on ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</h2>
-
-<p>Python uses <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> constant by default. When this constant is
-used, it will let client known to pick the highest protocol version which both
-the client and server support (it will be selecting between SSL v3.0, TLS v1.0,
-TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2).</p>
-
-<p>We use <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1</code> instead of <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> for security
-and compatibility reasons. SSL v3.0 is considered broken and unsafe and using
-<code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> can result in an increased risk for a downgrade attack.</p>
