.. -*- rst -*- ========== Containers ========== Lists objects in a container. Creates, shows details for, and deletes containers. Creates, updates, shows, and deletes container metadata. For more information and concepts about containers see `Object Storage API overview `_. Show container details and list objects ======================================= .. rest_method:: GET /v1/{account}/{container} Shows details for a container and lists objects, sorted by name, in the container. Specify query parameters in the request to filter the list and return a subset of objects. Omit query parameters to return a list of objects that are stored in the container, up to 10,000 names. The 10,000 maximum value is configurable. To view the value for the cluster, issue a GET ``/info`` request. Example requests and responses: - ``OK (200)``. Success. The response body lists the objects. - ``No Content (204)``. Success. The response body shows no objects. Either the container has no objects or you are paging through a long list of objects by using the ``marker``, ``limit``, or ``end_marker`` query parameter and you have reached the end of the list. If the container does not exist, the call returns the ``Not Found (404)`` response code.

You do not need to check whether a container already exists before issuing a PUT operation because the operation is idempotent: It creates a container or updates an existing container, as appropriate. To create, update, or delete a custom metadata item, use the ``X -Container-Meta-{name}`` header, where ``{name}`` is the name of the metadata item. .. include:: metadata_header_syntax.inc .. include:: metadata_header_encoding.inc Example requests and responses: - Create a container with no metadata: :: curl -i $publicURL/steven -X PUT -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" :: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx7f6b7fa09bc2443a94df0-0052d58b56 X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx7f6b7fa09bc2443a94df0-0052d58b56 Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:09:10 GMT - Create a container with metadata: :: curl -i $publicURL/marktwain -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "X-Container-Meta-Book: TomSawyer" :: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx06021f10fc8642b2901e7-0052d58f37 X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx06021f10fc8642b2901e7-0052d58f37 Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:25:43 GMT - Create a container with an ACL to allow anybody to get an object in the marktwain container: :: curl -i $publicURL/marktwain -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "X-Container-Read: .r:*" :: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx06021f10fc8642b2901e7-0052d58f37 X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx06021f10fc8642b2901e7-0052d58f37 Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:25:43 GMT Error response codes:201,204, Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - account: account - container: container - X-Auth-Token: X-Auth-Token - X-Service-Token: X-Service-Token - X-Container-Read: X-Container-Read - X-Container-Write: X-Container-Write - X-Container-Sync-To: X-Container-Sync-To - X-Container-Sync-Key: X-Container-Sync-Key - X-Versions-Location: X-Versions-Location - X-History-Location: X-History-Location - X-Container-Meta-name: X-Container-Meta-name_req - X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Allow-Origin: X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Allow-Origin - X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Max-Age: X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Max-Age - X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Expose-Headers: X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Expose-Headers - X-Container-Meta-Quota-Bytes: X-Container-Meta-Quota-Bytes - X-Container-Meta-Quota-Count: X-Container-Meta-Quota-Count - X-Container-Meta-Temp-URL-Key: X-Container-Meta-Temp-URL-Key_req - X-Container-Meta-Temp-URL-Key-2: X-Container-Meta-Temp-URL-Key-2_req - X-Trans-Id-Extra: X-Trans-Id-Extra - X-Storage-Policy: X-Storage-Policy Response Parameters ------------------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - Date: Date - X-Timestamp: X-Timestamp - Content-Length: Content-Length_cud_resp - Content-Type: Content-Type_cud_resp - X-Trans-Id: X-Trans-Id - X-Openstack-Request-Id: X-Openstack-Request-Id Create, update, or delete container metadata ============================================ .. rest_method:: POST /v1/{account}/{container} Creates, updates, or deletes custom metadata for a container. To create, update, or delete a custom metadata item, use the ``X -Container-Meta-{name}`` header, where ``{name}`` is the name of the metadata item. .. include:: metadata_header_syntax.inc .. include:: metadata_header_encoding.inc Subsequent requests for the same key and value pair overwrite the previous value. To delete container metadata, send an empty value for that header, such as for the ``X-Container-Meta-Book`` header. If the tool you use to communicate with Object Storage, such as an older version of cURL, does not support empty headers, send the ``X-Remove- Container-Meta-{name}`` header with an arbitrary value. For example, ``X-Remove-Container-Meta-Book: x``. The operation ignores the arbitrary value. If the container already has other custom metadata items, a request to create, update, or delete metadata does not affect those items.
