rackspace cloudfiles servicenet

[Ross]

Hi,

I have just started to use jclouds to work with cloudfiles in rackspace.
So far I have managed to get synchronous and async upload working, but I have been unable to find out how to configure jclouds to use the rackspace servicenet address for access (as I understand it there is a significant cost advantage to use snet for data uploaded from within the rackspace datacentre).

I can see that the selected Endpoint contains both the publicURL (https://storage101.ord1.clouddrive.com/...) and the internalURL (https://snet-storage101.ord1.clouddrive.com/).
The internalURL contains the servicenet address that I need to use for upload.

Is there a way to configure jclouds to use servicenet?
If not, what code would I need to write to use the snet address? I see that the EndpointToSupplierURI is configured to use PublicURLOrInternalIfNull - can I write a different implementation and then hook it into jclouds somehow?

I am using jclouds 1.5.2, and using the provider 'cloudfiles-us'.

Thanks for any help
Ross

surprisingly, I don't see an issue on this, though I'm sure we discussed it.

http://code.google.com/p/jclouds/issues/list?q=internalUrl

As a temporary patch, you can make a guice module that sorts this.

ex.

public class ForceInternalUrlModule extends AbstractModule {
private static class InternalOnly extends PublicURLOrInternalIfNull {
// override logic
}

public void configure(){
bind(PublicURLOrInternalIfNull.class).to(InternalOnly.class);
}
}

then, in ContextBuilder, pass ForceInternalUrlModule to the modules method.

Make sense?

Thanks, that works.

Do you want me to raise an issue for this?

For reference for anybody else wanting to do this, my code is:

public class RackspaceServicenetModule extends AbstractModule {

    @Override
    protected void configure() {
        bind(EndpointToSupplierURI.class).to(InternalURLSupplier.class);
    }

    @Singleton
    public static class InternalURLSupplier implements EndpointToSupplierURI {
        @Override
        public Supplier<URI> apply(Endpoint input) {

            System.err.println("InternalURLSupplier:" + input);
            return Suppliers.ofInstance(input.getInternalURL() != null ? input.getInternalURL() : input.getPublicURL());
        }

        public String toString() {
            return "supplyInternalURL()";
        }
    }
}

...
        ProviderMetadata provider = Providers.withId("cloudfiles-us");
        ContextBuilder builder = ContextBuilder.newBuilder(provider).credentials(userName, apiKey);
        if (useServicenet) {
            builder.modules(ImmutableSet.<Module>of(new RackspaceServicenetModule()));
        }
        return builder.build(BlobStoreContext.class);



Thanks,
Ross

Yeah, please do. Thanks for sharing the workaround, Ross!
