deleteObject with missing object

What does deleteObject do when the object is not present in the cloud? does it silently return success (as with the corresponding idempotent http verb)?

When writing a client, one doesn't want to catch an exception for a missing object and, not knowing what it's for, just retry the operation.

Thanks!
John

All blobstores allow deletes of non-existent keys.
