HI,

In the file
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/vmwareapi/read_write_util.py,
the code which copying the image from Glance to the ESXi datastore doesnt
seem to handle the authentication.

class VMWareHTTPWriteFile(VMwareHTTPFile):
    """VMWare file write handler class."""

    def __init__(self, host, data_center_name, datastore_name, cookies,
                 file_path, file_size, scheme="https"):
        base_url = "%s://%s/folder/%s" % (scheme, host, file_path)
        param_list = {"dcPath": data_center_name, "dsName": datastore_name}
        base_url = base_url + "?" + urllib.urlencode(param_list)
        _urlparse = urlparse.urlparse(base_url)
        scheme, netloc, path, params, query, fragment = _urlparse
        if scheme == "http":
            conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(netloc)
        elif scheme == "https":
            conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(netloc)
        conn.putrequest("PUT", path + "?" + query)
        conn.putheader("User-Agent", USER_AGENT)
        conn.putheader("Content-Length", file_size)
        conn.putheader("Cookie", self._build_vim_cookie_headers(cookies))
        conn.endheaders()
        self.conn = conn
        VMwareHTTPFile.__init__(self, conn)


Can some one enlighten me on how this works? When I manually tried the same
using curl and provided the username/password, the file upload worked just
fine. But when I create an instance in OpenStack, the image copy to ESXi is
not working.
