we haven't look at/added this functionality yet - simply because this is the first request we've had for it. Amazon S3 has a very similar mechanism (unless I'm mistaken it seems pretty much the same?). So this doesn't get lost in the mailing list I've filed a JIRA ticket for you here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DTACLOUD-320. If you're able to get started on implementing this then please feel free to ask questions - either on the ticket, or here, or on the #deltacloud irc channel on freenode. Otherwise I'll pick up the ticket onto my 'to-dos' and this should wind up into some near future release. thanks!, marios > Thanks in advance! > > Todd >
