Returns true if the authentication was successful and returns false otherwise.

  => true

The total size in bytes under this connection

Returns an OpenStack::Swift::Container object that can be manipulated easily. Throws a OpenStack::Exception::ItemNotFound if the container doesn‘t exist.

   container = cf.container('test')
   container.count
   => 2
   container = cf.container("no_such_container")
   => OpenStack::Exception::ItemNotFound: The resource could not be found

  => ["backup", "Books", "cftest", "test", "video", "webpics"]

  cf.containers(2,'cftest')
  => ["test", "video"]

Retrieves a list of containers on the account along with their sizes (in bytes) and counts of the objects held within them. If no containers exist, an empty hash is returned.

If you supply the optional limit and marker parameters, the call will return the number of containers specified in limit, starting after the object named in marker.

  cf.containers_detail
  => { "container1" => { :bytes => "36543", :count => "146" },
       "container2" => { :bytes => "105943", :count => "25" } }

The total number of containers under this connection

Creates a new container and returns the OpenStack::Swift::Container object.

"/" is not valid in a container name. The container name is limited to 256 characters or less.

  container.name
  => "new_container"

  container = cf.create_container('bad/name')
  => OpenStack::Exception::InvalidArgument: Container name cannot contain '/'

  cf.delete_container('video')
  => OpenStack::Exception::ResourceStateConflict: The container: "video" is not empty. There was a conflict with the state of the resource

  cf.delete_container('nonexistent')
  => OpenStack::Exception::ItemNotFound: The container: "nonexistant" does not exist. The resource could not be found
