AttributeError when recording HTTPS request

[kevin1024]

Not sure if this is a problem with the HTTPS implementation in vcrpy or the boto implementation specifically

Probably an issue with VCR, it works by monkeypatching out the httplib stuff with its own VCRHTTPSConnection, which might not implement the (bizarre) stdlib API 100% correctly.

VCRHTTPSConnection instance has no attribute '_vcr_request'

This tells me that since the _vcr_request doesn't exist on the stubbed out connection, Boto is probably calling send())) without calling request() first, so the connection object doesn't exist yet.

send() probably needs to check and if self._vcr_request.body doesn't exist yet, maybe initialize it by calling request() first. Except... send() doesn't give us the host it's connecting to. So how does httplib know which host to connect to?

Just of the top of my head, I don't have time to look into this too deeply right now :)

After looking into this a bit futher, I think this is caused by Boto's reuse of the existing HTTP connection (keepalive). This breaks some of my assumptions I made when designing the mock.

I think there might also be an issue with the signature process and timestamps, might need to mock out the time too. Yikes :)

Actually the timestamp thing can be solved with a customer marcher that ignores the Date header.

OK, this should be fixed in master, give it a try and let me know if/how it works for you.
