Connection.connect does not obey to the data array

[pkern@…]

The Connection object in common/connection.py accepts a data array in its connect method. Only certain values of it are honoured although all parameters specified in the corresponding docstring are imported as local variables. Obvious examples are resource and name which are not used or passed in the function. Perhaps you wanted to store them as global variables (thus setting self.resource and self.name, although the latter is used throughout the function to address the right configuration key). Please clean up this cruft.
