Fog upgrade requires 0.21.0 excon; will vcr 2.5.0 support 0.21.0 excon?

[jbe...@mdsol.com]

Hi:

    We've had an upgrade to the fog gem which depended on excon 0.21.0; after this upgrade we have a complaint while making recordings that Excon::Response has no 'attributes' method.

    Looking at vcr 2.4.0, vcr/library_hooks/excon.rb:86 returns 'response.attributes', which raises the exception.

    I can see work progressing on what I expect will be vcr 2.5.0, with several changes regarding excon integration. Is there any estimate on how far away a 2.5.0 release is? Perhaps more importantly, is there something that I can do to help make the 2.5.0 release come about sooner?

    In the meantime, I've patched in the missing attributes method; I'd really like to take it out as soon as possible.

Thank you,

James

Yep, I've got an open PR for that:

https://github.com/vcr/vcr/pull/276

I'm waiting on this excon issue, though:

https://github.com/geemus/excon/issues/207

...because getting things to work with the streaming is very complicated, and it really belongs in excon, and not in a library like VCR.

So, one thing you can do to help speed this up is chime in on the Excon ticket encouraging @geemus to make that a priority soon :).

I don't know when I'll get around to releasing VCR 2.5, though; I'm crazy swamped at work (we're ramping up to launch something I've been working on for over a year), plus there's some RSpec stuff that needs my time.

You're welcome to try out the PR if you like, though.
