Glacier support about aws HOT 3 OPEN

Sure. Maybe a quicker goal might be Glacier-S3 support though, as it's just
a storage mode.

It would be nice if aws would support Amazon Glacier. Possibly, this would
make it possible for git-annex to support Glacier without external tools.

Glacier-S3 support would be preferable, actually. At least as far as git-annex goes.

amazonka seems to have also taken this approach; it doesn't have bindings to the glacier API currently, but does support the S3 to glacier lifecycle.

What seems to be needed:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTBucketPUTlifecycle.html

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTObjectPOSTrestore.html

from aws.

Object lifecycle management is also now important to use the Infrequent Access storage class. A user may want to put an object to the standard class to start with, but degrading to the IA storage class after a while, and then later to glacier.

Storage class configuration is a rather complex xml document, so a data type that expresses it well would be convenient for users. Amazonka has one here: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/amazonka-s3-1.3.2/docs/Network-AWS-S3-Types.html#t:BucketLifecycleConfiguration
