Public bug reported:

I think this was working in Kilo but broken in Newton.

When I submit a POST to create a new node, and the POST JSON has
"key_name": null, I get an HTTP 400 error.

For example:

curl -i -X POST -H 'Host: example.com:13774' -H 'X-LC-Request-ID:
139827913935568' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' -H 'X-Auth-Token:
<mytoken>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8' -H
'Accept: application/json' -H 'User-Agent: libcloud/2.0.0 (OpenStack) '
--data-binary '{"server": {"name": "kdreyer-test", "imageRef": "ac47d004
-c15c-4eb5-a205-ec8beda806e5", "key_name": null, "flavorRef": "2",
"metadata": {}, "personality": []}}' --compress
https://example.com:13774/v2.1/servers

{"badRequest": {"message": "An invalid 'name' value was provided. The
name must be: printable characters. Can not start or end with
whitespace.", "code": 400}}


Omitting the key_name parameter entirely allows the request to succeed.

The problem is that the API error from Nova is complaining about "name",
when it should be "key_name" instead. I spent a long time wondering what
was wrong with my innocuous node name there.
