OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Does Swift support browser-based access?

Asked by Lukasz Bachman

Hi,
does Swift support browser-based access to objects? It's used mainly in forms (POST) and for spreading pre-signed links to objects, such as:

https://my-storage.com/000000/some-file.txt?AWSAccessKeyId=myusername:mypassword&Expires=1304924666&Signature=PRESIGNED-SIGNATURE

There is currently no direct support for browsers (POST of object contents) in Swift.

Are you planning to include this feature in future releases? As far as I know this is also a part of S3 specification.

Best regards.

It's definitely been talked about, but I don't know of it being on anyone's timeline for implementation yet, sorry. If it is, hopefully they'll chime in. :)
