[dev] [jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-196) Support RegisterIso call in CloudStack compute driver

["Tomaz Muraus (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-196?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13276466#comment-13276466 ] 

Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-196:
---------------------------------------

Everything besides the "exhaust_redirects" part looks fine.

I think this should be removed from the patch and just require user to pass in a URL which doesn't return a redirect. Supporting following redirects adds additional complexity and in Libcloud we prefer to do a single HTTP request in a single method call (if that's is possible), because it makes handling exceptions and retrying easier.
