Major Description
I wrote a small script that uploaded the output of a buildbot job and then updated an XML file. The large binary blob worked fine. However the XML file failed.
I was using the driver.upload_object_via_stream(iterator=StringIO.StringIO(somexml)) style as in the docs.
Looking at the LIBCLOUD_DEBUG output the driver was using the S3 multi-part upload API and making a new "part" for each line - so every 7 bytes or so - but the minimum size for a part upload was 5mb.
(I don't know if the first part is allowed to be less than 5mb if the entire upload is less than 5mb).
I am working around this by forcing multi-part uploads off.
