sending a specific request to cloud provider

[Eyal Kalimi <na...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
Is it possible to use org.jclouds.rest.HttpClient (or any other way) for
sending a request to cloud provider?
I need this for querying ec2 status checks which is not supported by the
API.

Thanks
Eyal

Hi Eyal,

Andrew's suggestion should help, although you'll have to manually invoke
the FormSigner to get the request signed and also manually build the
request with all required fields.

Adding that new call to the AWSInstanceApi should be pretty
straightforward. Wanna try opening a pull request? :) I can help you in the
process!

You should be able to do something like

HttpRequest req = HttpRequest.builder()....build(); // [1]
HttpResponse resp = ctx.utils().http().invoke(req); // [2]

but you'd have to manage all the authentication and headers yourself :-(

Out of curiosity: to which "unsupported request(s)" are you referring?
