Create request single server

[Joshua Harlow]

When a multitude of servers are passed in to the create servers endpoint it seems like the outgoing 'view' only shows the first one. This seems not exactly correct in that X instances were asked for (not 1) and only 1 output view is returned instead of a group of views...

server = self._view_builder.create(req, instances[0])
robj = wsgi.ResponseObject(server)
return self._add_location(robj)

API docs seem to allow just one server to be created
http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-compute/2/content/CreateServers.html#d6e1244

we should probably return badRequest (400) when the HTTP POST has a request with multiple servers

I don't think the docs are correct :-)

LOL :)

Fix proposed to branch: master

I don't think this is a bug. Returning multiple servers from a create request is a change in the api contract. We could consider it an extension only response but currently we have the option to return_reservation_id which will return a reservation_id instead of a single server. The reservation_id can be used to get a list of the servers from the client side. I think this is better implemented in novaclient for now.

Ok, I withdraw my current patch then.
