Description

If you look inside the definition for the success function inside libcloud/common/base.py you will see that it only returns true for [httplib.OK, httplib.CREATED] with the relevant status codes of 200 and 201.

I am working on a driver that also returns 202 Accepted, and as it stands, this would be flagged as a failure.

I forked from the main repository and corrected the issue by including httplib.ACCEPTED.

When I finish work on this driver, should I push that change upstream too? Without it, my driver will not work for most requests.
