Failed to enable CDN: KeyError 'x-cdn-uri' ? wrong type of cloudfiles container?

[ariddell]

Uploading works, but I get this error:

Uploading dist\lda-0.3.0.5.g35dfe57.win32-py2.7.exe [0.490 MB]
Uploading dist\lda-0.3.0.5.g35dfe57-cp27-none-win32.whl [0.291 MB]
Updating index.html with 13 links
Failed to enable CDN: KeyError 'x-cdn-uri'

I might have setup my cloudfiles incorrectly.

Just noting it here. Minor problem compared to the last one.

I have the same problem. I did not find the time to investigate that issue. It's probably a bug in libcloud and/or rackspace.

In the mean time you can activate the public CDN manually in the rackspace cloud web interface. You only need to do it once per container.

Use a short TTL, e.g. 15 min if you want you to be able to see an index.html file that is not too old.

I also just turned on the directory listing feature (rather than uploading an index.html).

Is there a reason to use the CDN rather than just a normal cloud files repository? I can't recall if the cost is any different.

(anyway, feel free to do what you want with this issue!)

I don't know how to do that. Where did you see such an option?

I understood that CDN was the only way to turn a cloud files container into a public HTTP / HTML website suitable for consumption by pip install -f <url> package_name.

You're right -- I thought there was a public + not cdn option available.

As for the directory listing, the relevant option is X-Container-Meta-Web-Listings. You can set it via:

curl -I -X POST -H "X-Container-Meta-Web-Listings: true" -H "X-Auth-Token: ${RACKSPACE_AUTH_TOKEN}" ${RACKSPACE_ENDPOINT}/container_name

you have to use an auth token rather than the api key, but getting that isn't so bad.

I can confirm that the directory listing works fine for doing --find-links -- no need for an index.html

Alright I did not know about that. It would be great to send a PR to apache libcloud to add it as an extension the rackspace provider (using the ex_ prefix).
