Swift-container_synchronization is showing "Invalid host 'host IP' in X-Container-Sync-To" in the response body (400)

[Harika Vakadi]

While trying to make synchronization between to containers in two different accounts, it is throwing an error which says "Invalid host '10.233.52.240' in X-Container-Sync-To" (400)

project1_user1_url = http://10.233.52.240:8080/v1/AUTH_5b5859b059434cb79f731773fc4fa91f
user1_container1 = contAdmin
project2_user2_url = http://10.233.52.240:8080/v1/AUTH_7bb6504e2649400f8b7a6ae6f66ef7c6
user2_container2 = cont_240

Trying to update the container metadata, this is to synchronize the user1_container1 with user2_container2, Below is the command and result of it.

That happens when your allowed_sync_hosts config setting isn't correct in your container server's config.

See http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_container_sync.html#configuring-a-cluster-s-allowable-sync-hosts for details.
