When using client.upload_object, the first HTTP request to the server is a HEAD request. This request is used to obtain block size and other meta-information about the server, as well as a check that the server is up and running. This normally returns a "204 No Content" response with the appropriate headers, and the object is subsequently uploaded using several PUT and POST requests.

When issuing a second client.upload_object call, the HEAD request is repeated to obtain the meta-information from the server a second time. As the client object upon which the method is called is container- and server- specific with this information provided to it during construction, this request is redundant. Please modify it so that the response of the HEAD request (the "x-container-block-hash" header) is cached during the first object upload and subsequent calls to client.upload_object() only issue PUT and POST requests directly without a leading HEAD request. The first PUT request can also be used to determine whether the server is up and running.
