I recently learned about swiftclients pseudo-folder directory-marker support.
It doesn't work with automatic container creation on upload.
vagrant@saio:~$ swift list
vagrant@saio:~$ echo "test" > obj
vagrant@saio:~$ swift upload container/folder obj
Warning: failed to create container 'container/folder': 404 Not Found: <html><h1>Not Found</h1><p>The resource could not be found.<
Object PUT failed: http://saio:8080/v1/AUTH_test/container/folder/obj 404 Not Found [first 60 chars of response] <html><h1>Not Found</h1><p>The resource could not be found.<
vagrant@saio:~$ swift post container
vagrant@saio:~$ swift upload container/folder obj
obj
vagrant@saio:~$ swift list container
folder
folder/obj
vagrant@saio:~$ swift stat container folder
