Based on bug 645: Starting with jclouds-1.8.0, it is mandatory to set the "region" for the HPCloud Object Storage provider. Previously the region and/or the apiVersion was used for choosing the correct endpoint. With jclouds-1.8.0, simply setting the region is enough. The value of the apiVersion is ignored when choosing the endpoint. Failure to set the region can result in an arbitrary region and therefore an arbitrary endpoint getting selected which may be different from previous jclouds releases. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-site/pull/114/files#r15724889
