I am working with OpenStack through the published API. (i.e. I am a client of the OpenStack API, not one implementing OpenStack internals). I hope that my questions will not be out-of-place on this mailing list and beg your indulgence (and correction) if they are.
The current developer documentation (http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/) includes section 3.43 explaining how one can update the metadata of a stored Object. The documentation, however, does not include a corresponding section about updating the metadata on a Container.
Although not documented, it would appear that using a POST HTTTP and providing "X-Container-Meta-" headers for a Container allows me to change the metadata on that Container in much the same way it will for an Object.
Is this supported behavior that I can rely on to work in the future, or is this happenstance, intentionally undocumented, and therefore likely to break?
