        Django Cloud Browser
        ======================
        :Info: A Django application browser for cloud (S3, Cloud Files) datastores.
        :Author: Ryan Roemer (http://github.com/ryan-roemer)
        
        Cloud Browser is a simple web-based object browser for cloud-based blob
        datastores. Just add as an application to a Django project, add some settings,
        and you'll be able to browse cloud containers and implied subdirectories, as
        well as view / download objects.
        
        Currently supported backend datastores include:
        
        * `Amazon S3`_.
        * `Rackspace Cloud Files`_.
        * Local file system.
        
        .. _`Amazon S3`: http://aws.amazon.com/s3/
        .. _`Rackspace Cloud Files`:
        http://www.rackspacecloud.com/cloud_hosting_products/files/
        
        Be sure to check out the following project resources:
        
        * Documentation_.

        Access Controls
        ===============
        
        Cloud Browser also has a very rudimentary set of access controls (presently
        white and black lists), so that you can expose a subset of cloud objects
        to a set of less-then-fully trusted users for read-only access without having
        to pass around the full cloud API account and secret key.
        
        Nested File Browsing
        ====================
        
        One of the underlying motivations for this project is the current control
        panel for Rackspace Cloud Files that only allows listing of the flat object
        namespace within a container, without any nested hierarchy. When you get up to
        5 million or so objects, it can be tedious / impracticable to search through
        results, even if you have carefully added delimiters (e.g., slashes) to your
        cloud objects names.
        
        Accordingly, Cloud Browser correctly handles "implicit" or "pseudo" directories
        in the underlying flat namespace of cloud blob names (e.g., divides up an
        object called "long/path/with/slashes/to/foo.txt"), and allows viewing into the
        artificially nested hierarchy. Cloud object results are paged, and subsequent
        pages can be viewed at arbitrary object-per-page and starting points.
        Conveniently, URL paths can be inputted and linked to a starting point within
        a long list of results.
