----------------------------------------

You can replace user metadata in Swift with POST: http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-objectstorage-v1.html#storage_object_services

> Swift only allows appending to user metadata, different from other object stores, such that the following integration test fails:
> {noformat}
> Failed tests: 
>   CloudFilesUSBlobIntegrationLiveTest>BaseBlobIntegrationTest.testCopyBlobReplaceMetadata:812->BaseBlobIntegrationTest.checkUserMetadata:606 
> Expecting:
>  <{"key2"="value2", "key3"="value3", "key1"="value1", "key4"="value4"}>
> to be equal to:
>  <{"key3"="value3", "key4"="value4"}>
> but was not.
> {noformat}
> Unfortunately the provider API does not appear to provide a way to set the combination of content and user metadata to fix this up after the fact.
