Issue #7474 has been updated by Mo Morsi.

Yes, and would still be interested in getting this in. Additionally we've made 
some additions to this module upstream that I'll submit / update this ticket 
when I have the cycles. They are largely simple extensions to the current 
resource type / provider, no major architectural changes, so any new 
comments/feedback to the existing submission should still apply.

As part of the aeolus project (http://aeolusproject.org) we provide a puppet 
recipe to install and configure the different components that make up the 
framework.

Several of our components primarily provide web interfaces which to configure 
the components and to create data, and previously we were manually 'exec'ing 
the curl command to invoke those requests.

The problem with this is that its tricky to both verify the HTTP response code 
as well as parse / verify the contents of the response, so to assist with this 
we wrote a generic web resource type and provider (based on libcurl) to perform 
the actual operation.

There is nothing aeolus-specific as part of this resource / provider, so I'm 
sharing it here with the hopes of getting some feedback and possibly for 
inclusion in the upstream project.

The patch itself can be found here:

Thoughts? Any way this could be included as part of puppet?
