ckonstanski 03900522d4 v2: Content-Type: application/octet-stream header always added
The bug: any existing Content-Type header cannot be found because the
call to headers.get() fails. Therefore we end up with two Content-Type
headers because a new one (applicaion/octet-stream) gets added
unconditionally. The cause: the strings (keys and values) in the headers
dict are converted from unicode sequences of type <str> to utf-8
sequences of type <bytes>. This happens in safe_encode()
(oslo_utils/encodeutils.py:66). <str> != <bytes> even if they appear to
have the same characters.

Hence, for python 3.x, _set_common_request_kwargs() adds content-type
to header even if custom content-type is set in the request.

This results in unsupported media type exception when glance client
is used with keystoneauth and python 3.x

The fix: follow the directions in encode_headers().
It says to do this just before sending the request. Honor this principle;
do not encode headers and then perform more business logic on them.

======================================
python-glanceclient functional testing
======================================

Idea
----

Run real client/server requests in the gate to catch issues which
are difficult to catch with a purely unit test approach.

Many projects (nova, keystone...) already have this form of testing in
the gate.


Testing Theory
--------------

Since python-glanceclient has two uses, CLI and python API, we should
have two sets of functional tests. CLI and python API. The python API
tests should never use the CLI. But the CLI tests can use the python API
where adding native support to the CLI for the required functionality
would involve a non trivial amount of work.


Functional Test Guidelines
--------------------------

The functional tests require:

1) A working Glance/Keystone installation (eg devstack)
2) A yaml file containing valid credentials

If you are using devstack a yaml file will have been created for you.

If you are not using devstack you should create a yaml file
with the following format:

 clouds:
   devstack-admin:
     auth:
       auth_url: http://10.0.0.1:35357/v2.0

       password: example

       project_name: admin

       username: admin

     identity_api_version: '2.0'

     region_name: RegionOne

and copy it to ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
