Swift's capabilities are discoverable via an "/info" endpoint. The docs are at:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/api/discoverability.html

Example output from my dev environment and from Rackspace Cloud Files and from 
a SwiftStack lab cluster:

https://gist.github.com/notmyname/438392d57c2f3d3ee327


Clients use these to ensure a unified experience across clusters and that 
features are supported before trying to use them.
