Bug description:
[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]
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 known regression potential.
