Thread-topic: Passing user_data with server create via the api (xml)

Hello,

I'm trying to pass user_data on server create using the xml api.  I am base64 UTF-8 encoding the string.  I've tried sending it as a message part, a query string on the url and as a post parameter.  This works from the Horizon UI, but I get
2012-06-18 19:58:18,610 - __init__.py[WARNING]: Unhandled non-multipart userdata ''
when I try to pass via xml.  The only thing I haven't tried is a different extension namespace on the user_data element if passing it that way, but I can't see any docs on this.

Has anyone been successful sending user_data over xml?

Thanks,

Ed
