OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Why there's no DELETE support in AccountController in the proxy?

Asked by Juan J. Martínez

The account server has a DELETE method that marks the account as "deleted", so the account reaper can remove it in background. The AccountController has GET/HEAD, PUT and POST support. I don't know if I'm missing something here.

I was wondering if there's a good reason to not support that DELETE call in the proxy to delete an account, so the proxy forwards the call to the account server.

I know that functionality it's not supported in the DevAuth server, but I'm working in a custom auth server that actually supports it and I'm planning to add the missing DELETE support in proxy server.

The proxy will have an account delete in the Bexar release. It is in trunk already and just requires adding allow_account_management = true in your proxy configuration.
