OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

world writable containers?

Asked by Kate Kaya

Is it possible to have world writable containers? After reading http://swift.openstack.org/misc.html#module-swift.common.middleware.acl I was able to create world readable containers using .r:*, but that syntax is not allowed for writable containers and * doesn't seem to work either. Here's an example of the command I'm using:

curl -k -v -X PUT -H 'X-Auth-Token: AUTH_xx' -H 'X-Container-Write: *' https://storage_url/public-container

The only way currently to make world writable containers is to remove auth completely (which makes world writable everything) or roll-your-own auth. Alternatively, you could also patch up an existing auth you'd like to use (Keystone and Swauth are the two alternatives right now).
