For the record, Glance uses httplib, not httplib2, for its
request/response handling because httplib2 does not support
chunked-transfer encoding. This is the same reason that Swift's client
and server communication uses the httplib library over httplib2 -- it's
kind of important when you have multi-GB file transfers ;)
I note that the requests library supports chunked transfer:
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced.html#chunk-encoded-requests
Might be time for the Glance developers to consider switching out
httplib for requests?
I noticed that the original email did not include Swift. Is there a
reason for not including it?
All the best,
