It looks like the current ListObjects API can return a list of object ids. My question here is can the object details such as the name, the modification date and a small set of properties be returned in the same call. We are implementing support for a 'dir' kind of function, you do a 'dir', it returns a list of files/folders inside the parent folder (done through ListObjects). So a one round trip call with everything needed to show to the end user is better than multiple round trip calls.
We'll be updating Atmos onLine in the next couple weeks. Included in that update will be an additional header option for ListObjects: "x-emc-include-meta". When set, the call will return both the object ids and their metadata, which should contain the necessary data you're looking for.
This additional meta information is not part of listObjects in the current or next minor immediate release. I will be sure to note that this functionality is important, but an ETA for delivery is unknown at the moment.
