OpenStack Compute (nova)

Asked by arturo lorenzo

I am accessing via XML the restful API support on nova-api port 8774 successfully. I cannot access it via JSON, is there any parameter associated with the JSON API in nova.conf?
Thanks!

Are you setting the content type of your requests?

Can you try setting this header: "Content-Type: application/json"?

Hi Arturo,

I'm struggling using nova-api server, too. Do mind I ask u some questions? (I'm totally new to OS and REST, please forgive me for some basic questions;-)

With nova-api, this is openstack api not Amazon EC2, right?
What the service URL look like? For example, if I want to list existing servers. Is it like https://0.0.0.0:8774/v1.1/servers?
For REST service, my understanding there is a paras in the request. paras include attributes. But nova-api has everything in the request body. How to issue such request? Could you show me a very simple client example?

Really appreciate your kind help!

Best,
Rajesh
