The following section describes the ReST API for interacting with the storage component
of Cloud Files. All requests will be directed to the host and URL described in the

The following are some requirements for the use of the storage services:
Container names may not exceed 256 bytes and cannot contain a '/' character
Object names may not exceed 1024 bytes, but they have no character restrictions
Object and container names must be URL-encoded and UTF-8 encoded
