Yeah I was playing with that, however I'm having an issue with authentication…
If I do a request to keystone to get the auth ID, I get a huge key, which I have to try to paste into a subsequent request to neutron.
Is there a way to force this to use the old style (small) auth ID, no auth, or username/password for auth on the requests?
I've been playing with using the CLI and --verbose, and then trying to extract the RESP:… output and run through JSON. A bit jacky, but it sorta works.
