Can't set headers when using the list resource api in Neutron Client

[Lyman Xu]

In neutronclient/v2_0/client.py, the api of listing resouce will call

def list(self, collection, path, retrieve_all=True, **params):
this list method will call

def _pagination(self, collection, path, **params):
this _pagination method will call

def get(self, action, body=None, headers=None, params=None):

We can see that we can set headers when using get(). But in list(),_pagination() they overlooked
the headers. In order to list the resource, I used the api of list(). But when I call the api of list, I can't set headers.

Best regards:-)

By the way, you need to pay attention to here:)
neutronclient/v2_0/client.py
line: 270
def do_request(self, method, action, body=None, headers=None, params=None):

will call line: 280
resp, replybody = self.httpclient.do_request(action, method, body=body)

ignore headers

I'm not sure but as I was checking it today it looks that any of neutronclient methods like list_networks or get_network and others similar don't support to pass additional headers to call.
IMO if You need to make such customized calls You should probably use keystoneauth1 and make REST calls with it.
