Re: [libvirt] [ESX:Error] HTTP 403 error for CURL upload operation
The URL /ha-nfc/52c6d592-7636-67c5-29f3-d5b373be4f42/disk-0.vmdk
looks
like the lease you get during OVA import on the ESX server to upload a
disk image to, isn't it? I'm not sure why you would get and Forbidden
error from the server here. Are you logged in with an restricted user
account instead of the root account?
Yes, precicely this is what I am trying to do.
The URL (deviceUrl) is obtained once the call to ImportVApp is successful, it does not
import the disk on root directory but to the new VM directory created after the importvapp
call. I remember trying this on ESXi4.1 and it used to work fine, ESXi5 seems to block it.
I am logged in with "root" credentials.

Are you trying to upload directly to the root of the datastore? IIRC
this isn't allowed and you can only upload subdirectories in the
datastore as in
http(s)//<ip>/subdirectory/file??dcPath=ha-datacenter?dsName=xxx OVA disk can be
compressed (compression algorithm is identified as one of the fields inside creaimportspec
result varible), also as OVA optimizes the disk we need to use this URL to upload the
valid content and rest necessary messaging is done by server itself (say deflate the disk,
uncompress it etc.).
