libcloud.storage / S3_RGW: cannot fetch some objects

Libcloud cannot handle some legitimates objects
Here is an example, that will explain the issue

Please check this code:

from libcloud.storage.types import Provider
from libcloud.storage.providers import get_driver

driver = get_driver(Provider.S3_RGW)(key='access_key', secret='secret_key', host='hostname')

print(driver.get_object('tilde', 'file~'))

Output:

~$ ./test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 8, in <module>
print(driver.get_object('tilde', 'file~'))
File "/tmp/libcloud/libcloud/storage/drivers/s3.py", line 332, in get_object
response = self.connection.request(object_path, method='HEAD')
File "/tmp/libcloud/libcloud/common/base.py", line 637, in request
response = responseCls(**kwargs)
File "/tmp/libcloud/libcloud/common/base.py", line 152, in _init_
message=self.parse_error(),
File "/tmp/libcloud/libcloud/storage/drivers/s3.py", line 96, in parse_error
raise InvalidCredsError(self.body)
libcloud.common.types.InvalidCredsError: ''

A tcpdump shows that libcloud tranforms the key from "file~" to "file%7E" (thus, url-encode)

The slight patch below fixes this issue:

This kind of issues existed on other projects (see https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php/issues/37 and https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/issues/45 for instance)

I do not know if this is specific to Ceph, or if this issue applies to amazon's S3 as well (regarding the issues above, this seems to be)

Thanks
