This code looks good to me so I'd like to merge it once it's integrated
into ckanclient/__init__.py and maybe has some test cases. I did have
one problem testing it locally here, line 87 of util.py is using
u.hostname but that was None, when it should be '127.0.0.1:5000', so the
upload was failing. I think the problem is that auth_dict['action'] on
line 84 may be just a path like /storage/upload that does not contain
the hostname.
