The default transport for the VI API is HTTPS. If the server redirects from HTTPS to HTTP the driver would silently follow that redirection. The user assumes to communicate with the server over a secure transport but isn't. This patch disables automatical redirection following. The driver reports an error if the server tries to redirect. * src/esx/esx_vi.c: refactor the call to curl_easy_perform() into a function and do error handling there, disable automatical redirection following for curl * src/esx/esx_vi.h: change the type of responseCode to int
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
