#247 (comment)

For F5 specific stuff, we have a special token that is generated (and required to be re-used) after we auth with a user/pass. we need to put that token in a Header which we send with future requests. This token needs to be deleted at the "end of the session" too otherwise we'll eventually run out of available tokens.

So right now we establish a connection (non-httpapi) make all our calls with the token, and then delete the token upon success/fail.

We have a couple modules that also check to see if the box is online to begin with. Today this isnt a problem because we handle the connection in the module. If the connection is moved out of the module, then the httpapi connection will need to know how to deal with this. In our case, it's technically equivalent of wait_for and some other custom checks. I imagine this would be a little ugly to bake into the httpapi (or equivalent) code.

Finally, we have several modules that reboot the device and wait for it to come back online. This rebooting invalidates the token as well. We would need to be able to mimic this in httpapi (or equivalent).

[dagwieers]

I have started a new Wiki page to share requirements from each of the potential httpapi shareholders.
https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/Plugin:-httpapi

Feel free to add more information there.

For F5 specific stuff, we have a special token that is generated (and required to be re-used) after we auth with a user/pass. we need to put that token in a Header which we send with future requests. This token needs to be deleted at the "end of the session" too otherwise we'll eventually run out of available tokens.

That's pretty standard. In an httpapi plugin, you can set self.connection._auth to a dictionary that gets merged with headers on every call. This would presumably get set in login() and cleared in logout(), which do what they sound like. logout() is also helpfully called during close(), so connection shutdown will clear your token for you (as will meta: reset_connection).

We have a couple modules that also check to see if the box is online to begin with.

This is one I haven't given a whole lot of thought to. I'm not entirely sure what this means, to be honest. I'm not really sure what this needs that until: "'stdout' in result" (or, more probably, some better test) doesn't give you.

Finally, we have several modules that reboot the device and wait for it to come back online. This rebooting invalidates the token as well. We would need to be able to mimic this in httpapi (or equivalent).

meta: reset_connection should be able to do just this. For persistent connections, it calls the connection's close() (which, as above, calls your httpapi plugin's logout() method).

Additionally, (and especially as a lot of the above points were requested by them), if you want to see how someone who is not me wrote an httpapi plugin to work with something that does not look anything like NX-API/eAPI (read: REST), take a look at plugins/httpapi/ftd.py. If you want to know what is expected of an httpapi plugin, the interface is described in plugins/httpapi/__init__.py, and if something still doesn't seem clear, bring it up and I'll be happy to talk about how to make it better.

@dagwieers I think this covers most of your needs as well. The major sticking point I know you still have is cluster support, and I haven't the faintest idea how to make that work in a way that doesn't ruin all the niceties that making connections look like real connection plugins. My only idea is to add a failover_hosts option to your httpapi plugin that subs out the connection's _url, but I have no idea how much trouble trying to do something like that might cause.

Proposal: Interface manager role ansible-network/network-proposals#1

The interface manager role provides a platform agnostic implementation to declaratively manage the aggregate set of network interfaces on a remote device. This role is designed to effectively replace the net_interface module that is currently part of Ansible core.

[privateip]

Proposal: VRF definitions role ansible-network/network-proposals#3

This proposal describe the implementation of a new resource role for managing VRF definitions in network device active configurations. This role would replace the current net_vrf agnostic module that currently resides in Ansible core.

[privateip]

Proposal: VLANs role ansible-network/network-proposals#2

This proposal describes the implementation of a VLANs role to replace the current platform agnostic implementation ofnet_vlan currently in Ansible core.

Collections Update

• Dates and information are subject to change
• March 2: devel on ansible/ansible will be frozen
  • This date marks the end of merging non-base plugin/module PRs.
  • After this point, all such content will be redirected to collections.
• March 4: We will self migrate supported network collections to github.com/ansible-collections
  • All of our content work will move to these collections from this date forward
  • This includes eos, junos, ios, iosxr, nxos, vyos and netcommon.
• March 9: Auto migration script is run. Migrated content will be deleted from ansible/ansible.
  • This will probably not cover absolutely everything, but items needing manual migration will be handled over the following days.
• March 23: Unfreeze devel, devel is now ansible-base
  • For most people, this date is pretty irrelevant, but marks the end of the transition process.

Core Updates

• OSPFv2 resource modules are reaching PRs in supported platform collections
• Content development is now happening in collections, not ansible/ansible. If you can't find a platform-specific collection for your code in https://github.com/ansible-collections, it has probably moved to https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.network

Core Updates

• Work is continuing to the release of 1.0.0 of supported collections
• One of the tasks for this is going back and adding new states (gathered, rendered, parsed) to older modules
  • In order to make room for this work, OSPFv3 resource modules have slipped off the 2.10 roadmap
• Also, changes needed to support resource modules over httpapi for nxos and eos are both scheduled for 1.0.0
  • nxos has had the necessary work for a little while now, and eos should have theirs land shortly

2020-05-13

Core Updates

• We continue to work towards a 1.0.0 release for our supported platform collections
  • This includes adding missing states to older resource modules and making sure the module documentation and such are complete and up to date
  • Again, this has pushed back the OSPFv3 modules for most platforms
• Resource modules over httpapi is almost complete for nxos, that should likely merge within the next day or so.
• Resource modules over httpapi is ongoing for eos. The base functionality is done, now just refactoring tests to work over both connections

Core Updates

• Current status is getting collections fixes into 2.9 so that ansible-test sanity passes
• you can see PRs fixing sanity failures in the various collections repos, but they generally depend on Support removed_at_date in ansible-doc (#70002) ansible#70015
• Also incoming are documentation updates of various stripes, mostly around ensuring that deprecated modules are represented correctly in 2.9

Core Updates

• Version 1.0.0 of the various supported collections have released!
• https://galaxy.ansible.com/ansible/netcommon is one such collection, being the base collection implementing network_cli, netconf, & httpapi
• With this, we are finally untethered from the ansible release cycle and can send out content updates on a much more frequent basis
• These collections are all supported on the recently-released 2.9.10 and the currently-branched 2.10 versions of Ansible
• We will be working out what the next releases of those collections look like shortly, and should be able to communicate that to all of you when that's more ironed out
