=0AHi guys,=0A=0AI'm an OpenNebula developer and I had a chat today with Ro=
ger and he told me=0Aabout this project. As far as I've seen, it looks like=
 a perfect match for many=0Athings we want to do in our project.=0A=0AOne o=
f these thing is to provide our users with a virtual router that=0Aautoconf=
igures itself matching the OpenNebula configuration and does things=0Alike:=
 dns server, dhcp server, etc...=0A=0ASo, my question here is, I'd like to =
call some acf funcionalities from inside a=0Apogram (namely reconfigure dns=
masq and restart the service), so far I've seen=0Athe only way to do this p=
rogrammatically is to log-in with curl for instance,=0Aget the cookie, and =
pass it along to the following requests.=0A=0AIs there any alternative? sho=
uld I do this in a different way? would you=0Aconsider applying a patch dev=
eloped by me that enables http basic authentication=0Ain /etc/acf/acf.conf =
so I can simply do the equivalent of curl -X POST -u=0A<username>:<pass> ht=
