Support for S3/Ceph direct uploads.
For some projects data management could be improved by uploading files directly into an S3/Ceph storage system close to the volunteer. This can be done with a presigned URL after authentication. The data server protocol could be updated to send back to the client a direct URL where to put the file. More details can be found in the following paper.

The paper's link is not correct.
Should work now
Oh - I like this presigned URL mechanism - I like this idea since I think that shifting to using object storage will be an important thing in the future. In fact it would be great if everything from create_work, downloads, uploads, validators and assimilators could use the object storage. This would greatly simplify project storage.
