curl -v -H 'X-Storage-User: test:tester' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: testing' url:8080/auth/v1.0 results in "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request"

Question

I have tried to setup SAIO - Swift All In One as per instructions in "http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/development_saio.html"

But when I execute "curl -v -H 'X-Storage-User: test:tester' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: testing' url:8080/auth/v1.0", it results in "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request".

I am new to Cloud Computing and hence any help in this matter is appreciated.

The request was malformed according to the server, i.e. did not respect the HTTP protocol completely. It is probably an issue with the headers. Run `curl` with `-v` and post the headers. — MattSizzle, May 29 '14 at 23:49
Thanks Matt. I am executing curl with -v option. But in vain. — user3689474, May 30 '14 at 00:03
Thanks, was able to retrieve tokens, but my subsequent GET fails with internal server error. — user3689474, May 31 '14 at 14:08

I encountered a similar problem. My code "worked on my system", but when I tried to run my code against a Swift store hosted by Cleversafe, I got the same 400 error.

I solved the problem by using X-Auth-User and X-Auth-Key as the header names rather than X-Storage-User and X-Storage-Pass. Unfortunately, the Swift documentation is net very clear as to the distinction, if any, between these two options.

curl -v -H 'X-Storage-User: test:tester' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: testing' url:8080/auth/v1.0 results in "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request"
