Hi,

Just FYI, Deltacloud API from version 1315573802git (current nightly =
build) supports 'verbose' mode,
which you can use to report errors or see what parameters are picked up =
by API on request and other
useful informations.
This could be extra useful for debugging and also reporting errors to =
us.

Other handy tool that comes along with this patch is that you can place =
custom debugging messages
everywhere in the code like:

    def instances(credentials, opts=3Dnil)
      cloud =3D new_client(credentials)
      info cloud
      =85
      warn "Oops, something is wrong..."
    end

In log you should then see the original file from where this message =
comes, line in this source file
and original caller method that throws this message.

I hope this will help us be more flexible in debugging Deltacloud API =
code.
In order to enable it you can do following:

1. export API_VERBOSE=3D1
2. ./bin/deltacloudd -V -i mock (-V =3D=3D verbose mode)
