OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Public Container Listing

Asked by Travis W Kiel

If you hit the location of a public container without specifying an object, you get a list of all object names. Is there a way to suppress this, or would that break functionality elsewhere? Or, was this the main reason why the referrer restrictions were put into the ACLs?

You can't suppress just listings at this time. We discussed the options prior to implementation and decided that the simple two Read and Write permissions were probably enough for most use cases.

If you really need to protect somebody from getting a list of public objects you can create a separate public container for each object.
