Specifying an authurl without a version string gives unhelpful error

This is the result of a change in auth.api.rackspacecloud.com. With swauth,
or tempauth, this should raise a client error:

 In [1]: from swift.common.client import get_auth

In [2]: get_auth('http://<removed.stg.url>', 'asdf', 'asdf')

user, key, snet)
    188 http_host=conn.host, http_port=conn.port,
    189 http_path=parsed.path, http_status=resp.status,

    191 url = resp.getheader('x-storage-url')
    192 if snet:

Thanks for the response, Clay. So... is this not a bug, then? Or is it just specific to auth.api.rackspacecloud.com? If just a problem with auth.api.rackspacecloud.com, feel free to set it to Invalid...

Maybe if get_auth has a successful return, but the x-storage-url and x-auth-token headers are missing we could raise an exception instead of returning the invalid (None, None).

My point was just that https://api.mosso.com used to 404 - now it has that 'api version map json' so perhaps client.py could be more skeptical about 200's from the "alleged" auth url.

Looks like Chmouel fixed this by accident when he added -V 2 and split get_auth().

I tested it with both Keystone and swauth based Swift, it reports "Account not found". The Keystone version can hang if given some URLs, but I dunno...

Closing.
