Open Stack

I looked into the pointers mentioned above,
and the make_pre_authed_request function was exactly what I needed.
I used:
 resp = make_pre_authed_request(env, 'GET', req.path, agent='MyCall',
swift_source='MC').get_response(self.app)
and got the requested object in resp, including metadata in the headers and
the actual object body.

Thanks!
