OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

Need clarification X-Container-Write header's Value to make Container Public Writable

Asked by Harika Vakadi on 2013-01-01

Issue is,

While Trying to Make container public-writable, and create object anonymously, e.g. without using credentials/with another user credentials 401 and 403 are being raised.

Header provided in the request to make container public writable is as below

cont_headers = {'X-Container-Write': '-*'}

By doing the above container metadata is updated with X-Container-Write header

Now trying to create an object in the above container

A. Without auth token

headers1 = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json'}

B. With another user's auth token

headers2 = {'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
'X-Auth-Token': token}

Below are response results in nosetests for the respective headers to create an object
