Hey,

we are trying to leverage this container to perform the unit tests for some of our GCS workflow running in a local docker container. And we have a test case that will create a object like a fs folder path something like rootDir/subDir/ with 0 byte. The code snippet looks like below:

bucketName := "test-bucket-name"
dirName := "my-folder/" // Note the trailing slash

bucket := client.Bucket(bucketName)
obj := bucket.Object(dirName)
writer := obj.NewWriter(ctx)

if err := writer.Close(); err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("Failed to create directory object: %v", err)
}

and it won't create anything I noticed the post request has the url with the trailing slash, I also tested this with real gcs and it works.
Could you please help point how we can fix this? thanks
