Custom metadata attributes

It would be useful if one could set additional headers for S3 objects, some of which include:

• Content-Encoding (e.g. 'gzip')
• Content-Type (e.g. 'application/x-javascript')
• more choices for Cache-Control (e.g. '24 hours', '1 week', etc.)

I agree support for S3 should be extended.

• Content-Encoding (e.g. 'gzip')
• Content-Type (e.g. 'application/x-javascript')

The MIME type should be set automatically from the mappings in trunk/lib/mime.types.

• more choices for Cache-Control (e.g. '24 hours', '1 week', etc.)

This is in #3761.

My problem is that CloudFront doesn't do compression of files it serves, so I have to add files to S3 with for instance a '.js' content-type, but with a content-encoding of 'gzip' because that's what the file really is. As far as I've seen, Cyberduck doesn't provide a way for me to do that.
