Node's HTTP(S) and Streams for uploading files

[kschzt]

Hi,

I rewrote the rackspaceCurl method using Node's HTTP(S) and Streams. This is so that I can provide a custom in-memory Stream.

• Use Node's HTTP(S) and Streams to upload files
• Renamed rackspaceCurl to rackspaceRequest
• Allow providing custom Stream
• Add test for custom stream

All tests pass.

BR,

Jak

Ohh heh, perhaps node's core HTTPS API actually works now? :-D

@indexzero will definitely take a look at this. Thanks!

[kschzt]

Added req.end() and res.destroy() so the request is ended and the socket is explicitly closed after response.

Added Expect: 100-continue header, fixes larger file uploads.

@kschzt I will look at this in the next couple of days. At first glace it seems like the .rackspaceRequest() method could be rolled into the existing .rackspace() method. I broke them out into two methods originally because large file uploads over HTTPS didn't work properly in node. That was 0.3.x though, so I'm sure it's better now.

Can't wait for the stream functionality! When is it planned to add this to the master branch?

[indexzero]

@RobinvdVieuten Sometime soon, some other things on our plate first

[robinvdvleuten]

@indexzero I will use the version of @kschzt in the meantime then. I can imagine that you have a lot on your plate with all that awesome modules you are developing ;)

@robinvdvleuten @kschzt This is now merged into the 0.3.x branch. I made some pretty significant changes to take advantage of the stream objects returned from the latest version(s) of [request)(http://github.com/mikeal/request).

Passing all tests, but I'm hold off on publishing until I can make some new tests to large file uploads (i.e. > ~1.5Mb)

@robinvdvleuten @kschzt This is now merged into master and published to npm as cloudfiles@0.3.0.

Great! Thanks for that @indexzero
