Google Cloud Storage - PUT Fails on Development Server

Question

On my dev server, Google Cloud Storage fails to save files during a PUT command.

This same command works fine on production. The response headers (see below) have little debug information. I have plenty of space on my hard-drive, and I have been running the dev server as an administrator, so it should have all necessary permissions.

Any ideas?

Below is the relevant Traceback (I changed the bucket name):

Update 2020 FYI, I raised this issue with Google here, and they said that they won't fix it because it has already been fixed, even though it clearly has not.

Update 2022 Still broken! See the proposed patch in the issue with Google.

Make sure that you have the correct permissions to access the bucket. You can check this by running the following command:

gsutil ls -l gs://bucket/

If you do not have the correct permissions, you will need to contact your Google Cloud Storage administrator to grant you the necessary permissions.

Also, make sure that the bucket exists. You can check this by running the following command:

gsutil ls gs://bucket/

Make sure that you are using the correct API version. The API version that you are using may not be supported on your dev server.
