Create Container
PUT /v1/{account}/{container}
Creates a Swift container (keypool) within account (namespace).
Containers are storage compartments
for your data. Containers can be assigned custom metadata by including additional HTTP headers, identified with
the X-Container-Meta-prefix, on the PUT request.
To use the OpenStack Swift REST API, you must obtain an
authorization token, which you pass to each request in the X-Auth-Token header.
X-Emc-Vpool is the ID
of the replication group to associate with the new container. This determines the data stores that are used to
store the objects associated with this container. If this header is not present, the default replication group
defined on the namespace is used.
Rules For Bucket Naming
The only restrictions on container names is that they cannot contain a forward slash (/) or an ascii null (%00) and must be less than 257 bytes in length.Please note that the length restriction applies to the name after it has been URL encoded. For example, a container name of Course Docs would be URL encoded as Course%20Docs and therefore be 13 bytes in length rather than the expected 11.
