How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run following script:

---------------------------------
import logging

import ovirtsdk4 as sdk
import ovirtsdk4.types as types

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, filename='example.log')

connection = sdk.Connection(
    url='https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api',
    username='admin@internal',
    password='password',
    ca_file='ca.pem',
    debug=True,
    log=logging.getLogger(),
)

vms_service = connection.system_service().vms_service()
vms = vms_service.list()
connection.close()
---------------------------------

Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    sso_response['error']

Additional info:

The problem is with pycurl version python-pycurl-7.19.0-17.el7.x86_64 and lower.
This problem was fixed in python-pycurl-7.19.0-18.el7.x86_64 tracked in following bug 1153321.

To support version python-pycurl-7.19.0-17 and lower we decided to fixed this problem using COPYPOSTFIELDS instead of POSTFIELDS to send HTTP POST data.
