Description

While testing the latest GCS pull request[1] I found that starting my application then waiting 12 hours resulted in authentication errors:

org.jclouds.rest.AuthorizationException: {
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "global",
    "reason": "authError",
    "message": "Invalid Credentials",
    "locationType": "header",
    "location": "Authorization"
   }
  ],
  "code": 401,
  "message": "Invalid Credentials"
 }
}

Restarting my application worked around this issue although GCS should renew its authorization token periodically as other providers do.
