* retry locks on network errors

When communicating with a local agent and watching a lock, a dropped
connection between the agent and server will show up as a server error
and immediately be retried. However if the client is connected to a
remote server, a dropped connection immediately aborts the lock.

* Updates comment about it being unsafe for writes.

Consul API client

This package provides the api package which attempts to provide programmatic access to the full Consul API.

Currently, all of the Consul APIs included in version 0.6.0 are supported.

Documentation

The full documentation is available on Godoc

Usage

Below is an example of using the Consul client:

// Get a new client
client, err := api.NewClient(api.DefaultConfig())
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Get a handle to the KV API
kv := client.KV()

// PUT a new KV pair
p := &api.KVPair{Key: "foo", Value: []byte("test")}
_, err = kv.Put(p, nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Lookup the pair
pair, _, err := kv.Get("foo", nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("KV: %v", pair)
