Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1491579 Title: against all sanity, nova needs to work around broken public clouds Status in python-novaclient: Confirmed Bug description: The version listing endpoint is a clearly a giant security risk, so the intrepid operators of Rackspace, HP, Dreamhost, Auro and RunAbove have all decided, in their infinite wisdom and deference to magical ponies that BLOCKING it is a great idea. Luckily, a non-zero number of them have decided to block it by hanging connections rather than throwing a 401. http://paste.openstack.org/show/442384/ In any case, the end result is that those clouds are unusable with the latest release of novaclient, which means it's probably on the nova team to figure out a workaround. After this bug is fixed, a defcore test should be added and it should be very non-optional. Also, everyone involved with blocking the VERSION LISTING endpoint should feel very ashamed of the stance against progress, joy and light. On the other hand, please everyone join me in rejoicing in the excellent work by the teams at vexxhost and UnitedStack who are running excellent clouds that do not exhibit this pox.
