Hi all, I thought I'd contribute support for GCE's new HTTP Load Balancing: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/
I'd like to do it in two steps. The first step would be to add support for the L7 load balancer. This seems pretty straightforward since there are already several examples in libcloud. It looks like the way to do this is to just use a protocol of 'http' to the create_balancer() method. The second part will be to add support for URL mapping. I didn't see any previous implementations of this in libcloud. I expect this will look something like creating ex_* methods to attach path/host rules to existing load balancers, but I haven't sketched it out yet. I've created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-605 to track this. Let me know if you have any thoughts/concerns/suggestions. -lee
