[Kartoch <kartoch@xxxxxxxxx>]

The proposal to merge lp:~kartoch/duplicity/hubic into lp:duplicity has been updated.

Description changed to:

Hubic support

Add a new backend for the support of Hubic, a french cloud provider offering cheap space storage.

The code adds a pre-authentication step to the swift backend, requesting some web services to obtain pre-authentication URL and token.

Usage:
- url is "hubic://default"
- user / password is deliver to duplicity via export variables HUBIC_USERNAME and HUBIC_PASSWORD

At the present time there is few limitations:
- the URL MUST BE "hubic://default", thus there is no way to place backup in a sub-directory
- token are valid 8 hours. If the backup takes more time, the user needs to relaunch duplicity to continue it. This is a limitation of the swift code to relaunch an authentication step in case of "not authorized" error during transfer.
