l.d.r.RackspaceConnection(ConnectionUserAndKey) : class documentation

Part of libcloud.drivers.rackspace View Source View In Hierarchy

Connection class for the Rackspace driver
Method __init__ Initialize `user_id` and `key`; set `secure` to an int based on passed value.
Method add_default_headers Adds default headers (such as Authorization, X-Foo-Bar) to the passed `headers`
Method host Rackspace uses a separate host for API calls which is only provided after an initial authentication request. If we haven't made that request yet, do it here. Otherwise, just return the management host.
Method request Request a given `action`.

Inherited from ConnectionKey (via ConnectionUserAndKey):

Method connect Establish a connection with the API server.
Method user_agent_append Append a token to a user agent string.
Method add_default_params Adds default parameters (such as API key, version, etc.) to the passed `params`
Method encode_data Encode body data.
Method _user_agent Undocumented

def add_default_headers(self, headers): (source)

def host(self): (source)

TODO: Fixup for when our token expires (!!!)
