copy in blob store?

Is it possible to copy or move a blob using the blob store APIs?

Thanks,
Kevin

The BlobStore API does not expose this functionality although you can
emulate it with putBlob(getBlob()).  Note that rename is a complicated
operation in file systems and I doubt that many providers support this
natively.

We have had several requests for a general blob mover to copy between
containers although no one has volunteered to implemented this yet:
