Manage local cloud storage instance using gsutil

[Ben Carlson via StackOverflow]

I'd like to do development using appengine's local gcs implementation. Unfortunately, there is not a sweet browser console, as discussed here: Local storage browser for Google Cloud Storage and dev_appserver.py. I'm wondering if it's possible to use gsutil. It seems the local gcs implementation is accessible through a localhost endpoint, mentioned here: Google Cloud Storage on Appengine Dev Server.

Right now, what I want to do is just load a file into my local gcs instance. I could do this my writing a little utility, but it seems much better to use gsutil if I can get that to connect to my local instance.

Thank you,

Ben

I have a GAE based application that pulls a file from cloud storage and then does some processing on that file. To run the application in the remote appengine environment, I first upload a file to cloud storage using the browser console, and then make requests to the application, which pulls the file I uploaded from cloud storage. I'd like to be able to do development locally, however there is not a sweet browser console for the local implementation of gcs, as discussed here: Local storage browser for Google Cloud Storage and dev_appserver.py.
