* Object hashmap retrieval through ``GET`` and the ``format`` parameter.

* Object create via hashmap through ``PUT`` and the ``format`` parameter.

* The object's Merkle hash is always returned in the ``X-Object-Hash`` header.

* Object create using ``POST`` to support standard HTML forms.

* Partial object updates through ``POST``, using the ``Content-Length``, ``Content-Type``, ``Content-Range`` and ``Transfer-Encoding`` headers. Use another object's data to update with ``X-Source-Object`` and ``X-Source-Version``. Truncate with ``X-Object-Bytes``. New ETag corresponds to the Merkle hash of the object's hashmap.

* Include new version identifier in replies for object replace/change requests.
