Subject: [s3-dev] AWS requests generated by Bucket.objects()
Message-ID: <20090713143646.GF7980@insomnio>

Hi everyone,

I have two questions, if I execute the following command:
  Bucket.objects('mybucket', :prefix => 'secure/')

1) Does this count against the "PUT, COPY, POST, or LIST
requests" or the "GET and all other requests" ?

2) If I have 100 keys with the given prefix, does it count as
1 request, or 100 for each returned?

Any help is sincerely appreciated.  Best, -Chris

Not to grab a rubygem and immediately start complaining, but . . .

what's the deal with raising (unique) exceptions on just about all api  
calls?

For example:
   Bucket.find(...) --> AWS::S3::NoSuchBucket
   S3Object.find() --> AWS::S3::NoSuchKey

The resulting code is a lot cleaner if I don't have to check for  
exceptions every time I make an api call.

IMHO it would look more like idiomatic ruby if the find calls returned  
nil on error.  Is there a reason for the exception-based paradigm?
