Hello,

I have just uploaded a prerelease of S3QL 2.8 to
https://bitbucket.org/nikratio/s3ql/downloads
(s3ql-snapshot.tar.bz2). If you can spare a few minutes and have a
not-mission-critical system or some data to test with, it would be great
if you could give it a try.

This release replaces the HTTP interface code with a completely new
module, so I'd like to have as much testing as possible before releasing
it.

To test the new release, download and extract the tarball, run "setup.py
build_ext --inplace" and then run the commands from the "bin"
directory. Do not run "setup.py install".


If you are interested: the new http client module allows to use HTTP
pipelining, which will speed up the upload of small objects as well as
removal of objects. In addition to that, it also gets rid of a rather
ugly hack that was necessary to support Expect-100 operation with the
standard Python http module. S3QL 2.8 uses the new module, but does not
yet use the additional features. These are expected to become available
in S3QL 2.9, once I have confidence that the new code works at least as
reliably as before.


Best,
-Nikolaus
