Hey all, In the docs for listing containers:
http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/object-storage/?expanded=show-account-details-and-list-containers-detail it says that limit is optional. However, if you give it full_listing=True, swiftclient always sends at least a second query with a marker set to the name of the last element of the original return value. This leads me believe there is a default value for limit server side that swiftclient is trying to account for. Looking through capabilities, it seems there is: swift.account_listing_limit swift.container_listing_limit I'm guessing swift.account_listing_limit would apply to getting the list of containers, and container_listing_limit would apply to listing objects in a container, yeah? Relatedly, there is a X-Account-Container-Count header. Testing against rackspace public shows me that it contains the total count of containers even if I provide a limit parameter: >>> r=c.get('/?format=json&limit=2') >>> r.headers['X-Account-Container-Count'] '4' Would that also be the case if I had hit the swift.account_listing_limit limit? I ask because it seems like it would be ever-so-mildly more efficient to look at the returned count and the total count and only do the loop if there is a mismatch - but I'm curious if there is something I should account for I'm not seeing. (I'm working on making direct REST calls, but starting with swiftclient's behavior to make sure I'm doing things right) Also - the question about limit behavior when not given seems like it could be added to the docs - and I'd be happy to make that patch if I'm reading things right. Thanks!
