-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow option for returning a detailed json-format ACL
from libcloud.storage.drivers.google_storage.ex_get_permissions method
Key: LIBCLOUD-889
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-889
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Storage
Reporter: Brian Lawney
Priority: Minor
Currently the libcloud.storage.drivers.google_storage.ex_get_permissions method
(and its associated private _get_container_permissions and
_get_object_permissions methods ) returns a tuple indicating the permissions of
a bucket or object. My use-case requires a detailed ACL for a specific bucket
or object. Currently I cannot get that information from this method.
The current implementation does make ACL requests but does not save the
response or make use of the response body (json format). Instead, if the
request for ACL was successful, it simply returns an integer indicating
ownership of the bucket/object. If an exception is raised, that is caught and
further permissions (e.g. write, read) are subsequently checked.
I propose adding an additional boolean keyword arg with a default False, so the
call signature would be:
ex_get_permissions(self, container_name, object_name=None, detailed_acl=False)
If the arg is False, the method returns the same tuple it does now, preserving
backwards compatibility and not changing the default expected behavior. If the
method is called with detailed_acl=True, the method will return a json object
parsed from the body of the response.
