Various bugs I've been encountering:

• Autocomplete of tag names no longer works (no longer works on ​http://ckan.net/). Appears to be due to no longer have a routes for apiv2 (i'm seeing failing calls to: ​http://ckan.net/apiv2/package/autocomplete?callback=callback&incomplete=a)
• Incorrect url generated for API in page footer (e.g. ​http://ckan.net/rest/get_api) due to use of old 'rest' rather than new 'api'

Latter issue was masked by existence of 'default' routes:

   map.connect('/{controller}', action='index')
   map.connect('/:controller/{action}')
   map.connect('/{controller}/{action}/{id}')

Having these is, I think, bad practice as it is better to be explicit and we should therefore remove asap.

In addition I think we should be cautious about 'default' routes in core such as:

    map.connect('/api/rest/:register', controller='api', action='list',
        conditions=dict(method=['GET'])
        )

As it makes it harder for extensions to introduce their own APIs (here one could perhaps add something at /api/rest/{my-object} but only by using before_map rather than after_map).

Currently autocomplete method on package controller. This method should be in API (like other autocomplete methods).

Will need to update client code (just forms atm I think).

Previous work in #877 and #879 + #853 (storage API). In this ticket:

• Improve authorization
• Establish convention for laying out files on disk
• Add documentation
• Fix bugs with #879 (does not currently work -- boto may have changed)
