Comment 1 for bug 1464196

Uploading more thant 5GB of data is by default not possible, because that's the default maximum object size within Swift. Is this number too large in your case?

Is it possible for you to use the formpost middleware? You have to use a POST instead of a PUT, but in that case you can limit the maximum size of the upload: http://docs.openstack.org/kilo/config-reference/content/object-storage-form-post.html
