Subject: putting blob in directory in HP Cloud Object Store results in 
additional empty file with directory name

Hello,

I am using version 1.8.1.
I have the following code that puts a blob in HP Cloud Object Store:

public String putObject(String container, String name, InputStream data) {
     ContextBuilder storageContext = 
ContextBuilder.newBuilder("hpcloud-objectstorage")
                     .credentials(…)
                     .modules(…);
     BlobStore bs = 
storageContext.buildView(BlobStoreContext.class).getBlobStore();
     return bs.putBlob(container, bs.blobBuilder(name).payload(data).build());
}

I call the method with name argument that contains a directory like this

putObject("container", "folder/file", data));

what I get is the desired object named "file" under pseudo directory "folder"
however, I also get an empty (0 bytes) object named "folder" in the container 
root.
This is undesired.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Sharon
