** Description changed: [Impact] Example when using a key name 'my key': Caught exception reading instance data: http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/mpi/my key Is a boto issue, see https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/659 Patches provided for Precise, Quantal and Raring. Fix already exists in Saucy. [Test Case] There are two ways to test this. The first provides that the change will affect the url in the required manner but does not test the package. The second will test the package but needs to be run within an Openstack instance against an API that has calls with spaces on their name. ==== #!/usr/bin/env python import urllib resource = "http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/i love spaces" print "unsafe: %s" % resource resource = urllib.quote(resource, safe="/:") print "safe: %s" % resource === #!/usr/bin/env python from boto import utils utils.get_instance_metadata() + [Regression Potential] - [Regression Potential] - This is a very low risk change. It has been tested on Precise. A quantal patch is also provided. + This is a very low risk change which makes any non-alphnumeric + characters in a meta api call name safe for urlib. It is unlikely that + an api call name would have anything other than alphanumeric chars, + whitespace and perhaps '_' but even if they did they would be safe here + so there is no know regression potential.
