l.c.d.o.OpenStackComputeConnection(OpenStackBaseConnection) : class documentation

Part of libcloud.compute.drivers.openstack View Source View In Hierarchy

Known subclasses: libcloud.compute.drivers.openstack.OpenStack_1_0_Connection, libcloud.compute.drivers.openstack.OpenStack_1_1_Connection

Undocumented
Method request Request a given `action`.

Inherited from OpenStackBaseConnection:

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 morph_action Undocumented
Method base_url Undocumented
Method _get_base_url Undocumented
Method _get_default_region Undocumented
Method _populate_hosts_and_request_paths OpenStack 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.

Inherited from Connection (via OpenStackBaseConnection, ConnectionUserAndKey, ConnectionKey):

Method set_context Undocumented
Method connect Establish a connection with the API server.
Method user_agent_append Append a token to a user agent string.
Method morph_action_hook Undocumented
Method add_default_params Adds default parameters (such as API key, version, etc.) to the passed `params`
Method pre_connect_hook A hook which is called before connecting to the remote server. This hook can perform a final manipulation on the params, headers and url parameters.
Method encode_data Encode body data.
Method _tuple_from_url Undocumented
Method _user_agent Undocumented
def request(self, action, params=None, data='', headers=None, method='GET'): (source)

Basically a wrapper around the connection object's `request` that does some helpful pre-processing.
