Upload Object - Object name with a "/" at the end makes it a Pseudo-folder

[Ravi Mandava]

1. Login to Devstack as admin
2. Create the container "C_1"
3. Inside C_1 container, upload an object, and in the Object Name field, use a name with "/" at the end.

Observed that the uploaded object will turn into a Pseudo-Folder. As per the design "/" should work only for "Create Pseudo-folder" function to created nested folders. It should not have any effect when used while creating an object cuz, objects cannot be nested.

How did you created this file with "/" at the end of the name?

i tried creating a file with "/" at the end of the name both in windows and linux but the system didn't allowed it.

Nikunj, I updated the description -- the '/' is appended to the name in the Object Name field

Ravi, instead of attaching screenshots embedded into MS Word docs, it is much easier for everyone if you could just attach the png or gif image files directly, since many of us are not running Windows.

Gray, My bad! Attached the same as gif images.

It is the correct behaviour.
