Did you ever connect? I'm just trying to connect via curl (http://developer.openstack.org/api-guide/quick-start/api-quick-start.html#authenticate) and can't. I get 401 unauthorised responses. OVH are as helpful as a chocolate teapot too.

Best description I've ever read for OVH's support! I've managed to connect to my Object Storage by using Swift.
Here's a link explaining how to install Swift: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10976317/can-i-install-swift-openstack-storage-infrastructure-of-openstack-without-inst.
After installing it, go to OVH's control panel and go to Project Management and Consolidation, once in there go to the OpenStack option and create a user. After the user is created, click on the little wrench and select the option that reads: Generate an OpenStack Token. Keep a copy of all the data id's passwords, etc.
After you've done this you can go use Swift like this: swift --os-auth-token 0bc3de*****************96e5c --os-storage-url https://storage.gra1.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH000000/OBJECT_NAME list
Hope this is helpful for some people!

@soualid You can use s3fs with S3Proxy using the Swift backend.

@Dexus were you able to connect to OVH using S3Proxy? If so please close this issue.
