No response is received while changing image's status

[Sourabh Jaiswal]

While changing the status of any image in glance no status code or response is returned.

Steps to reproduce:-

1. Get a token using curl request using admin's credentials.
2. Deactivate any image using curl POST request.
3. Check the status of same image using curl request.
4. Reactivate the same image using curl POST request.
5. Check the status of same image using curl request.

Observations:-
1. On Both status change Glance api doesn't returns any status code or status message showing success or failure of the action.
2. But while checking the status of the image using curl request it shows the successful change in the status.

Requirement:-

1. This needs to be fixed as it is not possible for any user to make sure that the action has been successful or not.
2. For automation purpose it is not possible to automate any case based on status change of the image if no status is returned.

It does get a reply, its just a 204 (No content). If you wish to confirm this is the case you can use the -v option when using curl to see the response.

[Sourabh Jaiswal (sourabh-jaiswal)]

As per the API document of openstack it should give a 200 response.
Please find the link of the document:- http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-image-v2.html

Please confirm if my understanding is right.

I would argue that the API documentation is wrong, not the implemenation. A 204 here makes perfect sense.

Also, please provide curl commands for reproduction for the api-site team.

[Sourabh Jaiswal (sourabh-jaiswal)]

Please find the curl command I used for the same.

curl -s -X POST http://10.201.3.204:9292/v2/images/eb416d35-0b13-41a6-a3d6-459009514115/actions/deactivate \
-H \
"X-Auth-Token:7067cc850e2b49aba5e65365ecf52ec0" \
| python -m json.tool

The same command just didn't gave any response.

However adding -v {verbose} mode gives

204 no content.

for which api doc says it should give 200 ok response.
