<title>Using cURL</title>
|

<para>cURL is a command-line tool which is available on most

UNIX®-like environments and Mac OS X® and can be

||
downloaded for Windows®. For more information on cURL,

visit <link xlink:href="http://curl.haxx.se/"

||
<para>cURL allows you to transmit and receive HTTP requests
|

and responses from the command-line or from within a shell
|
||
script. This makes it possible to work with the ReST API
|

directly without using one of the client APIs.</para>

<title>Listing and Creating Containers</title>
|

<para>The simplest operation for Object Storage is to simply

list the containers you have, which when you don't have

any containers yet isn't terribly exciting:</para>

|

</example>
|
||
<para>So, you take the X-Auth-Token obtained from the
|
||
authentication operation, pass it as a header value,
|
||
execute the operation against the URL obtained from the
|
||
authentication operation, and force the GET verb with the
|
||
-X switch. What you get back tells you there aren't any
|

containers.</para>

<para>Next, let's create a container and then do the listing

again:</para>

<para>A particularly important metadata element for containers
|
||
is X-Container-Read, which establishes the ACL permissions
|

on who can read objects in the container. Prior to being
|
||
set, the ACL logic default to only be accessible to
|
||
someone with a valid X-Auth-Token for the account in

question. Doing a simple listing of a container shows us
|

the absence of X-Container-Read in this default

steps. First we divide the content into pieces and upload

each piece into a segment object. Then we create a

manifest object. In this example, we will place the

segment objects into the "segments" container and the

manifest object into the "images" container. We are not

segment objects is convenient.</para>

<title>Pseudo-Hierarchical Folders/Directories</title>

<para>For the last section, we come to the most confusing
|
||
concept in Object Storage. In most storage systems, you
|
||
have the ability to create custom hierarchies of files so
|
||
that you can better organize them. On its surface, Object
|
||
Storage only gives you one level of hierarchy in the form
|
||
of containers. However, it turns out that you can get
|
||
creative with naming your objects to give yourself the
|
||
same effect as having hierarchical containers.</para>
|
||
<para>Let's start with a fresh container without any objects
|
||
in it:</para>
