Description

This script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import print_function
from libcloud.dns.providers import get_driver as get_dns_driver
from libcloud.dns.types import Provider as DNSProvider

auth = {
	'account': '<redacted>@developer.gserviceaccount.com',
	'key': '<redacted>.pem',
	'project': '<redacted>',
}
Driver = get_dns_driver(DNSProvider.GOOGLE)
print(repr(Driver))
gce_dns = Driver(auth['account'], auth['key'],
		project=auth['project'],
		# secure=True
		)
print('SECURE: ' + str(gce_dns.secure))
print(gce_dns.list_zones())

Fails with:

	{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"sslRequired","message":"SSL is required to perform this operation."}],"code":403,"message":"SSL is required to perform this operation."}}

If I uncomment out the secure = True line (which seems like it ought to fix the above), I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./dns.py", line 18, in <module>
    secure=True)
  File "/.../libcloud/dns/drivers/google.py", line 73, in __init__
    super(GoogleDNSDriver, self).__init__(user_id, key, scopes, **kwargs)
TypeError: __init__() got multiple values for keyword argument 'secure'

This is the first time I've tried to use libcloud's DNS api, so apologies if I'm missing something.

libcloud-0.15.1, and also replicated on the current `master`.

I dug into the code a little, and class GoogleDNSDriver's __init__ calls:

	super(GoogleDNSDriver, self).__init__(user_id, key, scopes, **kwargs)

While its superclass (libcloud.base.DNSDriver) _init_ function takes:

	def __init__(self, key, secret=None, secure=True, host=None, port=None, **kwargs):

...which doesn't match up at all.
