glance-replicator livecopy cannot work due to Bad header: x-image-meta-virtual-size

[Jun Hong Li]

I would like to use "glance-replicator livecopy" command to replicate the images from one openstack instance to anthor, it goes to error while running the livecopy command:

2014-09-24 17:32:09.082 24953 CRITICAL glance [-] ServerErrorException: 400 Bad Request

The server could not comply with the request since it is either malformed or otherwise incorrect.

The v1 version API is used by the client.

    Fix bad header bug in glance-replicator

    When trying to use "glance-replicator livecopy" to replicate the
    images from one OpenStack glance to another, it encounters "Bad
    header" error for "x-image-meta-virtual-size" header. This is
    because this header is not in the whitelist of v1 API headers of
    form "x-image-meta-xxx".

    Another problem after adding this "x-image-meta-virtual-size" to
    header whitelist is that the sqlalchemy fail due to virual_size is
    "None", which cannot be converted to int. To fix this problem, we
    should avoid converting the None value attribute in GET
    /v1/images/detail response to the header of POST /v1/images. I
    added the None value check, following what the way in
    glance/common/utils.py image_meta_to_http_headers() method.

    Closes-Bug: #1373333
