Getting public URL of newly uploaded CloudFiles asset
cloudfiles, rackspace
Solution
I believe that once you have your container's CDN URL, every object you put in it is appended to it. So, if your container's CDN URL is `cdn1.foo.cloudstorage.com`, your objects will have the URLs `cdn1.foo.cloudstorage.com/object1.ext`, `cdn1.foo.cloudstorage.com/object2.ext`, etc.
You only need the three steps to get the initial container CDN URL. Afterwards, it's simple.
Problem
When uploading new asset into the CloudFiles storage I want to get public URL of this asset (if container is CDN-enabled). I figured out the only way to do this is to issue 3 (yes, three!) requests to RackSpace: - Authenticate user and get `x-auth-token`, `x-storage-url` and `x-cdn-management-url`. - After getting all the tokens and URLs, upload a file to the container. - Issue a HEAD request to the `x-cdn-management-url` for public URL of the container. I just want to make sure that I really need 3 requests per upload to get the public URL of the asset I just uploaded. All the operations must be performed programmatically via API.
