Description

Using sample code from documentation:

container_name = '[e-mail]'
# Create a container if it doesn't already exist
try:
    container = driver.get_container(container_name=container_name)
    print "Using existing container %s" % container_name
except ContainerDoesNotExistError:
    container = driver.create_container(container_name=container_name)
    print "Created new container %s" % container_name

print 'Uploading object...'

content = { 'content_type' : 'audio' }
# Compress data in our directory and stream it directly to CF
obj = container.upload_object(file_name, object_name=object_name,
                extra=content)

Produces a double encoded URL for the upload_object call:

URL: david%40statichacks.org
Created new container [e-mail]
Uploading object...
URL: david%2540statichacks.org
{'bytes_transferred': 4269,
 'data_hash': 'eb80d68c737781db10b748fd53ecdd22',
 'response': <libcloud.storage.drivers.cloudfiles.CloudFilesRawResponse object at 0x25d1310>}
404
{'date': 'Wed, 22 May 2013 15:06:58 GMT', 'content-length': '70', 'content-type': 'text/html; charset=UTF-8', 'x-trans-id': 'txa6557bd13bb14d1895154d4b36049a55'}

I can avoid this by overwriting the container object in the above code with another 'get_container' call. But it seems like the code should just do the right thing when an object uploaded using an existing container.
