If you're content with 1st party view, Alex Yang's mail gives the
answer. But if you want a 3rd part view (authenticate as administrator
or bypassing the authentication), then I don't think there is a tool
for that. I tried to find one before I started on swift-report, but
found none.

Swiftly can be used to ease the problem of formulating the correct
URLs when accessing back-ends instead of the proxy, but it's not
a complete turnkey solution.

Actually I was thinking about pilfering Greg's code from Swiftly
and grafting it onto swift-report, but that hasn't happened.

So the only way you can do it today is to extract the URLs by
authenticating with Keystone as 1st party (with curl), then issue
curl -X HEAD to account, container, and object servers. Basically
you still authenticate in the end as Alex suggested.
