NAME

       swift-proxy-server - OpenStack Swift proxy server.

SYNOPSIS

       swift-proxy-server [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       The  Swift  Proxy  Server is responsible for tying together the rest of the Swift architecture.  For each
       request, it will look up the location of the account, container, or object in  the  ring  and  route  the
       request  accordingly. The public API is also exposed through the Proxy Server. A large number of failures
       are also handled in the Proxy Server. For example, if a server is unavailable for an object PUT, it  will
       ask the ring for a handoff server and route there instead. When objects are streamed to or from an object
       server, they are streamed directly through the proxy server to or from the user the proxy server does not
       spool them.
