Open Stack

Hehe, alright :)

Well, as their documentation says: http://www.rackspace.com/blog/rackspace-cloud-files-how-to-use-expiring-objects-api-functionality/

It should "just work" :) If it doesn't it's not an openstack issue but a rackspace issue ;)

For example, when I want to delete an object, instead of deleting it, can I simply set the X-Delete-After attribute of that object to 0? Is one faster than the other?

Delete will require creation of a new version of the object, truncating it to a 0 byte file and renaming it to change the extension to ".ts". Seems like less work is done when object expiration is set.
