def request(self, action, params=None, data='', headers=None, method='GET'): (source)

overrides libcloud.common.openstack.OpenStackBaseConnection.request

Request a given `action`.

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

@type action: C{str}
@param action: A path. This can include arguments. If included,
    any extra parameters are appended to the existing ones.

@type params: C{dict}
@param params: Optional mapping of additional parameters to send. If
    None, leave as an empty C{dict}.

@type data: C{unicode}
@param data: A body of data to send with the request.

@type headers: C{dict}
@param headers: Extra headers to add to the request
    None, leave as an empty C{dict}.

@type method: C{str}
@param method: An HTTP method such as "GET" or "POST".

@type raw: C{bool}
@param raw: True to perform a "raw" request aka only send the headers
             and use the rawResponseCls class. This is used with
             storage API when uploading a file.

@return: An instance of type I{responseCls}
