I used this Boundless thingie for several plugins now (original source
is now pointing/redirecting to planetlabs [0]).

I think we already discussed several times that it would be good to
incorporate this into a commons lib for QGIS. But if I'm correct the
actual interface was not exactly what some wanted, and if I recall
correct Nyall tried to pull this into c++ but hit some multithreading
issues.

But as Nyall says: I think this is a great lib to use in a plugin (also
because it used the QgisNetwork-stuff, so you can receive the signals
from it or log the precise urls, like we do in the QGISnetworklogger
plugin [1]
