-------------------------------------
Summary: Reset "context" attribute on the connection class after
the request finished
Key: LIBCLOUD-457
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-457
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Reporter: Tomaz Muraus
Priority: Minor
"context" attribute on the connection class is there to allow developers to
save temporary data on the connection class for the duration of a request.
It's commonly used and accessed in places such as "parse_body" and
"parse_error".
Because of the oversight, this attribute is currently not reset after the
request has finished and the value of context is available across multiple
requests.
This is bad and in-directly encourages bad practices like persisting some state
across multiple requests.
The goal of this issue is to fix that and reset the context after the request
has finished. We will also need to update the affected code, because sadly,
some drivers rely on this broken and bad behavior.
