-----------------------------------------------------------
guessing urls is a losing battle, right? in order to make something public in
rackspace you have to use their cdn system, which makes oddly named urls.
Biggest problem with public urls are:
1. you incur a billing event in rackspace by using the CDN even w/in their
cloud.
2. not all public clouds support public urls
3. this probably won't work at all in private cloud
4. accidentally leaving your files open to the public will run up your bill
This isn't to say that request signing is w/o warts, just that it might be
better to attack the private blob problem, either via request signing, or
installing a local file manager.

> If the installation tarball URL is a file:// URL then Whirr could upload it
> to a blobstore and automatically download it onto the instances before
> running the install script. This change would make it very easy to test
> development versions of Hadoop, or other services.
