Hi Tomaz

It would also be great if the documentation included some specific examples showing how to write and read metadata in storage. It took alot of digging to work out the correct syntax.

thanks

Looking at the code, it should include content_type in the meta_data
dictionary, but not other metadata fields when retrieving a single object.

It looks like it's a simple code change to make it return all the metadata
fields. I will have a look at it soon.

I'm using S3 libcloud and when I retrieve a file, I am not provided with
the metadata, nor does it provide the etag, last-modified date or the
content-type.

I checked the headers returned from the Amazon S3 query and these fields
are all present as follows:
{'content-length': '11612', 'x-amz-id-2': '**
rqpGyzJ5tq3x0jzyXrNjNQ9qQc14mG**WX4kDridXS26jtGY62GTtj0XiHjfla**NgOk',
'accept-ranges': 'bytes', 'server': 'AmazonS3', 'last-modified': 'Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:13:22 GMT', 'etag': '"**448fd165349e7b1a07c935b6ee69e3**db"', 'x-amz-request-id': '2A32A41463F2D8FF', 'date': 'Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:14:42
GMT', 'x-amz-meta-rabbits': 'monkeys', 'content-type': 'image/jpeg'}


I had a look at the source code and it looks like this is the libcloud
function that is meant to be returning the data.

   def _headers_to_object(self, object_name, container, headers):
       meta_data = { 'content_type': headers['content-type'] }
       hash = headers['etag'].replace('"', '')
obj = Object(name=object_name, size=headers['content- length']**,
                    hash=hash, extra=None,
                    meta_data=meta_data,
                    container=container,
                    driver=self)
       return obj

As far as I can tell, the above code is not inserting the required data.

Anyone able to throw any light on this?

thanks

andrew
