Anne,
Thank you for your help, and you're correct, that is the case I am pursuing.
In both sets of documents it is clear to me that one can add metadata to a Container when it is created.
However, the documentation does not seem to mention anything about changing the metadata on a Container after it has been created.
Empirically it appears that I can do it, an experiment confirms that I can update the metadata on a container using a POST request to the container's URL, but that behavior is not documented so I wanted to know if I should rely on it working in the future. :-)
Thanks for looking though!
Scott
Woops, the chapter isn't missing, nor is the information. Scott, you'll find it in http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/create-container.html - you can assign metadata when you create the container.
I'll let one of the Swift devs answer about the ability to update container metadata (which is I think the use case you're pursuing).
