Hi,

I've posted on this previously but have yet to be pointed in the right direction - so I'm posting again.  Examples or docs appreciated.

I'm trying to pass user_data on server create using the xml (or JSON) api. 

My userdata looks like...
"#!/bin/bash
#
#Purpose : Setup the initial image

set -e -x
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
...

I am base64 UTF-8 encoding the string and 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.

Here is an example of one of the configurations I tried...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/compute/api/v1.1"; name="server8" imageRef="http://192.168.75.70:8774/30ddcb35079f406eae98857515cbf1d2/images/57443c48-eb29-48f6-853a-b8bc7d5dde05"; flavorRef="1" user_data="IyEvYmluL2Jhc2gNCiMNCiNBdXRob3IgOiBFZCBzaGF3DQojRGF0ZSA6IDE0IEp1biAxMg0KI1B1cnBvc2UgOiBTZXR1cCB0aGUgaW5pdGlhbCBpbWFnZQ0KI0NvbW1lbnRzIDoNCiMNCiMgTGFzdCBFZGl0dGVkIGJ5OiBlZHNoYXcNCg0Kc2V0IC1lIC14DQpleHBvcnQgREVCSUFOX0ZST05URU5EPW5vbmludGVyYWN0aXZlDQoNCmFwdC1nZXQgdXBkYXRlICYmIGFwdC1nZXQgdXBncmFkZSAteQ0KYXB0LWdldCAteSBpbnN0YWxsIGFwYWNoZTINCg0KI1NlbmQgdG8gY29uc29sZSB3ZSBmaW5pc2hlZCBydW5uaW5nLg0KZWNobyAiTkVYSkNPTkZJRzogSW5zdGFuY2Ugc2V0dXAgc3VjY2Vzc2Z1bHkgZXhlY3V0ZWQuIiA"/>

I'm looking for a sample payload that works so I can fashion my xml after it.

Thanks,

Ed
