I think the idea of restricting temp url requests from only hitting that single container is workable but is not a great solution. I think forcing every middleware that does sub requests to do:

if allowed_container and container != allowed_container:
+ return HTTPUnauthorized(request=req)

is asking for problems imo. We have to add this to DLOs, SLOs, versioning, etc. My problem with the container lvl tempurls is that it provides anonymous access to objects. This doesn't jive all that well with container ACLs that are completely based on who is making the call. I'd want a pretty good reason to change this model and I don't know if container level tempurls (while a neat idea) is worth it. I'd much rather pull it from the release and figure out a better way than forcing something in quickly and regretting it later.
