Update a batch of S3 objects' metadata?

[Rob Yurkowski]

I know that this is a year late, but this topic was a pretty good help.
Still, I had some difficulties operating on a selection of those files, so
here's what I did to make it work:

Hopefully this will be helpful to someone in the future, too!

I need to change some metadata (Content-Type) on hundreds or thousands of
objects on S3. As far as I can tell there is no way to save only metadata
with fog, the entire object must be re-saved including the body. Is this
true?
Thanks!

OpenStack have a post_object which is an update call and does not need a
body. Also preserves the existing metadata.

Does'nt S3 have a post_object API?

There isn't an explicit thing quite like that, I gather you can use copy to
write over the top of an existing thing in order to get this effect though.
