[Openstack] Swift Container Name Restrictions
Hi Folks, I'm trying to write some scripts to work with Swift containers, but I don't actually know what the restrictions on container names are. Does anyone know what the specification is, or where I can read up on it? For example: What are the length requirements for container names? (Maximum/Minimum numbers of characters?) Starting character requirements? Allowable character sets? Disallowed characters? Disallowed patterns? (things like .., .-, -., --, ip address-like things, etc.) Anything else? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide, even if it's just a link to a document I somehow missed, Matt Wodrich ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

You'll also find this info in the Object Storage API document, see http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/ch_object-storage-dev-api-storage.html On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 7:27 PM, John Dickinson m...@not.mn wrote: On Jan 24, 2012, at 5:22 PM, Matthew Wodrich wrote: Hi Folks, I'm trying to write some scripts to work with Swift containers, but I don't actually know what the restrictions on container names are.
