Brian Metzler commented on LIBCLOUD-552:
----------------------------------------
Verified that using -X HEAD with curl, breaks compatibility with Objects with spaces in the
names.
Traceback (most recent call last):

Just upload a file into a container with a space in the name, then try to download it. When
attempting to pull the metadata, curl does not know just to pull the header information with
-X HEAD, and attempts to pull the full file. With --head (-I), this is not the case, and
works properly.
> CloudFiles CURL Request uses -X HEAD instead of --head or -I

> Project: Libcloud
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Storage
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0-beta3
> Environment: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
> curl 7.22.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.22.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.23
librtmp/2.3
> Python 2.7.3 and Python 3.2.3
> Reporter: Brian Metzler
> Priority: Critical
>
> When running driver.container.download_object(), it attempts to get the metadata of the
object by using 'curl -X HEAD', instead of 'curl -I' or 'curl --head'. curl does not properly
handle HEAD requests with -X HEAD, as it still attempts to download the full file.
> Just turn on debugging, and check out the time it takes for a standard curl -I versus
curl -X HEAD.
