The original spec said that the HTTP header should contain the name of the service type returned by the Keystone service catalog (which is also the official name of the REST API). I don't understand why the spec was changed retroactively and why Nova has been changed to return X-OpenStack-Nova-API-Version instead of X-OpenStack-Compute-API-Version HTTP headers [4]. To be blunt, Nova is the *implementation* of the OpenStack Compute API. Ironic is the *implementation* of the OpenStack BareMetal API. The HTTP headers should never have been changed like this, IMHO, and I'm disappointed that they were. In fact, it looks like a very select group of individuals pushed through this change [5] with little to no input from the mailing list or community. Since no support for these headers has yet to land in the client packages, can we please reconsider this? Thanks, -jay Hi Jay, When I reviewed the changes in Ironic, that was one of the things I noticed. I looked at the nova implementation at the time, and I saw 'nova' so even though I thought it should have been 'compute' (and 'baremetal' for Ironic), I thought it was OK to use 'ironic'. Sorry, that was the wrong time for me to be a laaaaaamb ;) I think we should deprecate and change to use 'baremetal' (if it isn't going to be too painful).
Ruby, there's no reason to apologize. Nobody did anything intentionally bad or wrong, here :) I was just trying to bring the issue up and possibly change directions before too much time passed.
If anyone is to blame, it's me for not noticing the changes in the first place! :)
All the best, -jay __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
