config_drive="true" during instance creation does not work

[Davanum Srinivas (DIMS)]

When i create an instance using:

curl -i http://192.168.1.136:8774/v2/cc12ec2f0dea40ed80689aa95ccb968c/servers -X POST -H "X-Auth-Project-Id: demo" -H "User-Agent: python-novaclient" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: 4b1a376d4e554af8ad13023e863980c7" -d '{"server": {"name": "mycirros-with-drive", "config_drive": "True", "imageRef": "1f167196-298b-43a0-9a03-83212db38183", "flavorRef": "1", "max_count": 1, "min_count": 1, "networks": []}}'

I expected the vm to be created with a disk.config just like the force_config_drive flag in nova.conf. Instead, i see the following in nova-api logs

2012-12-13 16:30:44 INFO nova.api.openstack.wsgi [req-222020e4-b2cc-46bf-958d-858a86df61cf admin demo] HTTP exception thrown: Can not find requested image

It looks like code is trying to treat the value of config_drive as a image id in glance

    Fix for broken switch for config_drive

    There's a wrong check in api.py, we should check if config_drive
    is not a boolean string before we try to treat it as an image id

    Fixes LP #1090148
