> Atmos storage driver doesn't correctly encode path names
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LIBCLOUD-233
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-233
> Project: Libcloud
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Storage
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1
> Environment: Python 2.7.1
> Reporter: Russell Keith-Magee
> Assignee: Tomaz Muraus
> Priority: Critical
>
> If you use the Atmos storage driver, and you attempt to stream the upload of
> an object, and either your container name or your object name is a unicode
> string, the presence of these unicode strings will cause the HTTP message
> body to be converted into a unicode string.
> However, file content is provided as a byte string; if the file content
> contains binary data, httplib will try to convert this file content into
> unicode, yielding encoding errors.
> For example, if you try to stream upload a PDF whose name is stored as
> u'foo.pdf', you'll get a message something like:
> UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 10:
> ordinal not in range(128)
> (Position 10 is where the binary content in a PDF starts, after the
> "%PDF-1.3\n%" header)
> The behaviour of httplib in the presence of unicode content is a known issue
> (http://bugs.python.org/issue12398); All path tokens should be encoded as
> ascii before being passed to httplib to prevent this problem occurring.
> As far as I can make out, this problem only exists under Python 2.7 -- I've
> observed it on Python 2.7.1 and Python 2.7.3. Python 2.6.7 is unaffected.
