Title:
  Symbols & and ? in the name of a large object

Status in python-swiftclient:
  Fix Released
Status in python-swiftclient package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If I save an object that has symbols "&" or "?" in its name the swift
  does it rightly.

  $ swift upload 1 "4&4.txt"
  4&4.txt

  But if I try to save an large object with these symbols in its name I
  get a message about error.

  $ swift upload -S 10 2 "4&4.txt"
  4&4.txt segment 0
  Object PUT failed: http://localhost:8080/v1/AUTH_system/2/4%264.txt 400 Bad Request   X-Object-Manifest must in the format container/prefix

  But I've found that the segments of this file were created.

  etregubov at ten:~/1$ swift list 2_segments
  4&4.txt/1339422290.6/2/00000000

  I've traced the swift and found that it doesn't create manifest file.
  But if swift are patched this patch:

  diff --git a/common/constraints.py b/common/constraints.py
  index 235dcca..f03589e 100644
  --- a/common/constraints.py
  +++ b/common/constraints.py

               container, prefix = value.split('/', 1)
           except ValueError:
               pass
  -        if not container or not prefix or '?' in value or '&' in value or \

               return HTTPBadRequest(request=req,
                   body='X-Object-Manifest must in the format container/prefix')

  all works right.
