use this lib with an external provided token.

[demoze]

Hello,

Thank for your work. I've setup an openstack swift with keystone identity and kerberos. My usual workflow to access swift is an 3 step process.

1. call our identity service to get an access_token
2. call keystone with the access_token, to get a auth_token and storage_url
3. call swift api with the auth_token and storage_url

Using the lib, I just have to do step 1 and 2 and then provide AuthToken, StorageUrl and bypass authenticate call to get a working example.
It works fine

Is this intentional, or is it working by accident ?
I've done some small update to rclone to get it working too.

working example.

       package main

       import (
          "fmt"

          "github.com/ncw/swift"
       )

func main() {


        auth_token  := "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
        storage_url := "https://api.example.net/v1/AUTH_project1"


        c := &swift.Connection{
                AuthVersion: 0,
                AuthToken:   auth_token,
                StorageUrl:  storage_url,
        }

        // Authenticate  XXX
        //err := c.Authenticate()
        //if err != nil {
        //        panic(err)
        //}

        info, headers, err := c.Account()
        if err != nil {
              panic(err)
        }

        fmt.Println(info)
        fmt.Println(headers)
}

ok, it seems to be a duplicate if #80

No that is how it is supposed to work.

There may be trouble when the token expires, but there isn't any way around that.
