Chapter 6. Ceph Object Gateway

Gateway enhancements include packaging improvements; ensuring sysvinit scripts run the Ceph Object Gateway under a systemd context as needed; and, using standard udev rules for RHEL7. The gateway now adds .log messages to the default log path and separates civetweb logs from the rgw log. There is also a fix for civetweb URL decoding.

The gateway uses mod-proxy-fcgi instead of mod-fastcgi, and includes some clean up for the FastCGI request context.

The gateway now sets a length for Keystone token validation, and improves subuser creation for Swift. There is also a fix for the object tail test.

The gateway has a few improvements for REST calls; it will no longer try to authenticate CORS preflight requests; calculates hash codes properly during PUT operations; and, it converts header underscores to dashes.

On copy operations, the gateway will now copy object data even if the copy target is in a different pool from the copy source.
