/v1/{account} REST operations of object-store
Modules§
- delete
- Deletes the specified account when a reseller admin issues this request. Accounts are only deleted by (1) having a reseller admin level auth token (2) sending a DELETE to a proxy server for the account to be deleted and (3) that proxy server having the allow_account_management” config option set to true. Note that an issuing a DELETE request simply marks the account for deletion later as outlined in the link: https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/overview_reaper.html. Take care when performing this operation because deleting an account is a one-way operation that is not trivially recoverable. It’’s crucial to note that in an OpenStack context, you should delete an account after the project/tenant has been deleted from Keystone.
- get
- Shows details for an account and lists containers, sorted by name, in the account.
- head
- Shows metadata for an account. Because the storage system can store large amounts of data, take care when you represent the total bytes response as an integer; when possible, convert it to a 64-bit unsigned integer if your platform supports that primitive type. Do not include metadata headers in this request.
- set
- Creates, updates, or deletes account metadata. To create, update, or delete custom metadata, use the X-Account-Meta-{name} request header, where {name} is the name of the metadata item. Account metadata operations work differently than how object metadata operations work. Depending on the contents of your POST account metadata request, the Object Storage API updates the metadata as shown in the following table: TODO: fill the rest To delete a metadata header, send an empty value for that header, such as for the X-Account-Meta-Book header. If the tool you use to communicate with Object Storage, such as an older version of cURL, does not support empty headers, send the X-Remove-Account- Meta-{name} header with an arbitrary value. For example, X-Remove-Account-Meta-Book: x. The operation ignores the arbitrary value.
