Now BlueMix has an S3 endpoint capability. You can use curl or any other langage for exemple here is an boto3 that will upload an object, make it public and and some metadata : ( the function is using a json file on which you store the credentials and it uses 3 variables that are used in the global app : currentdirpath,ImagesToS3,ImageName )

def UploadImageDansBucket (currentdirpath,ImagesToS3,ImageName) :
    currentdirpath = 'path/to/your/dir/current'
    ImagesToS3 = ' /path/of/your/object/'
    ImageName = 'Objectname'
    with open("credentials.json", 'r') as f:
        data = json.loads(f.read())
        bucket_target = data["aws"]["targetBucket"]
        print ('Open Connection to the bucket in the cloud..........')  

        s3ressource = boto3.resource(
            service_name='s3', 
            endpoint_url= data["aws"]["hostEndPoint"],
            aws_access_key_id= data["aws"]["idKey"],
            aws_secret_access_key=data["aws"]["secretKey"],
            use_ssl=True,
            )
        s3ressource.meta.client.meta.events.unregister('before-sign.s3', fix_s3_host)
        s3ressource.Object(bucket_target, 'hello.txt').put(Body=b"I'm a test file")
        s3ressource.Object(bucket_target, 'bin.txt').put(Body=b"0123456789abcdef"*10000)
        fn = "%s%s" % (ImagesToS3,ImageName)
        data = open(fn, 'rb')
        #s3ressource.Bucket(bucket_target).put_object(Key=fn, Body=data)
        now = datetime.datetime.now()  # on recupere la date actuelle 
        timestamp = time.mktime(now.timetuple())  # on effectue la convertion
        timestampstr = str (timestamp)
        s3ressource.Bucket(bucket_target).upload_file(fn,ImageName, ExtraArgs={ "ACL": "public-read", "Metadata": {"METADATA1": "a" ,"METADATA2": "b","METADATA3": "c", "timestamp": timestampstr },},)
