[Openstack] Swift downloading only manifest of static large object (SLO)

Thanks you guys sooo much for the help!!!  I got this figured out.  I was
using swift's --use-slo flag and apparently SoftLayer doesn't support that.
It be really great to add to the docs that SLO support is optional (and
turned off by default). I was definitely confused by that.

Thanks!
