Comment 2 for bug 1082835

As far as I've seen, this "bug" is present on TempAuth, if it is a bug at all. The problem is that a GET request on a manifest file in turn gets a listing of the _segments container. Of course, this is to guess which segments compose the requested object. However, without setting '.rlisting' on the _segments container, the listing cannot be retrieved anonymously.

One way to address this could be to allow the segments to inherit the read permissions of the manifest file. That is, if we have read permissions on the manifest file, we should be able to list and get the segments. I exemplify this behavior in the attached patch.

Perhaps a less radical solution is to make the swift tool set '.rlisting' on _segments by default.
