I'd like to find out what's causing this. Could someone explain how it's 
supposed to work?

Currently, "juju bootstrap" with the plain "openstack" provider does

cloud_init.set_instance_id_accessor("$(%s %s)" % (
                 curl, filestorage.get_url(id_name),))

which creates a command of the form:

curl -k 
https://myhost:8443/v1/AUTH_7ed23fe65dd24434838cef60cff37c75/juju-tal/juju_master_id

This command doesn't work however:

$ curl -k 
https://myhost:8443/v1/AUTH_7ed23fe65dd24434838cef60cff37c75/juju-tal/juju_master_id
<html>
  <head>
   <title>401 Unauthorized</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <h1>401 Unauthorized</h1>
   This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the 
document you requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad 
password), or your browser does not understand how to supply the credentials 
required.<br /><br />
Authentication required

The 7ed23f... bit is simply the (public) project ID, not any kind of access 
token. So how is Swift supposed to authorise the request?

Thanks,
