Amazon S3 uses file metadata for various HTTP headers (cache control, content encoding, etc.), which are provided as HTTP headers when PUTting the file. From what I can tell, the s3 module currently doesn’t provide a way to pass headers during PUT operations, although the underlying boto function set\_contents\_from\_filename can accept them. Is there another way to go about doing this? Or, if this is a feature the maintainers think would be valuable, I can work on a pull request for library/cloud/s3? Thanks in advance.
