* Container/object lists use a ``200`` return code if the reply is of type json/xml. The reply will include an empty json/xml.

* In headers, dates are formatted according to RFC 1123. In extended information listings, dates are formatted according to ISO 8601.

* The ``Last-Modified`` header value always reflects the actual latest change timestamp, regardless of time control parameters and version requests. Time precondition checks with ``If-Modified-Since`` and ``If-Unmodified-Since`` headers are applied to this value.


  		





  703
  
  
    
* While ``X-Object-Manifest`` can be set and unset, large object support is not yet implemented (**TBD**).


  		





  
  705
  
    
* A ``HEAD`` or ``GET`` for an ``X-Object-Manifest`` object, will include modified ``Content-Length`` and ``ETag`` headers, according to the characteristics of the objects under the specified prefix. The ``Etag`` will be the MD5 hash of the corresponding ETags concatenated. In extended container listings there is no metadata processing.
