Table 1 Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

versionId

String

No

Explanation:

Version ID of the object.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

The value must contain 32 characters.

Default value:

None

Request Headers

OBS supports the six HTTP request headers: Cache-Control, Expires, Content-Encoding, Content-Disposition, Content-Type, and Content-Language. It saves these header values in the metadata of the object. When the object is downloaded or queried, the saved values are set for corresponding HTTP headers and returned to the client.

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

x-obs-metadata-directive

String

Yes

Explanation:

  • REPLACE_NEW: The metadata that has an existing value is replaced. A value is assigned to the metadata that does not have a value. The metadata that is not specified remains unchanged. Custom metadata is replaced.
  • REPLACE: All original metadata is replaced by metadata specified in the request. Metadata that is not specified (except for x-obs-storage-class) is deleted.

Default value:

None

String

No

Explanation:

It specifies the cache behavior of the web page when an object is downloaded.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

See the Cache-Control values defined in HTTP.

Default value:

None

Content-Disposition

String

No

Explanation:

It specifies the name of an object when it is downloaded.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

See the Content-Disposition values defined in HTTP.

Default value:

CAUTION:

This parameter is not used to set the object expiration time.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

See the Expires values defined in HTTP.

Default value:

None

x-obs-website-redirect-location

String

No

Explanation:

If the bucket is configured with website hosting, the request for obtaining the object can be redirected to another object in the bucket or an external URL.

In the following example, the request header sets the redirection to an object (anotherPage.html) in the same bucket:

x-obs-website-redirect-location:/anotherPage.html

In the following example, the request header sets the object redirection to an external URL:

x-obs-website-redirect-location:http://www.example.com/

Restrictions:

The value must start with a slash (/), http://, or https:// and cannot exceed 2 KB.

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

x-obs-storage-class

String

No

Explanation:

Specifies the storage class of an object.

Example: x-obs-storage-class: STANDARD

Restrictions:

The value is case-sensitive.

Value range:

  • STANDARD
  • WARM
  • COLD

Default value:

None

x-obs-meta-*

String

No

Explanation:

Custom metadata of the object. You can add a header starting with x-obs-meta- in the request to define metadata. The custom metadata will be returned in the response when you retrieve the object or query the object metadata.

Example: x-obs-meta-test: test metadata

Restrictions:

  • The total size of all custom metadata cannot exceed 8K. To measure the size, calculate the sum of bytes of all UTF-8 encoded keys and values.
  • The custom metadata keys are case-insensitive, but are stored in lowercase by OBS. The key values are case-sensitive.
  • Both custom metadata keys and their values must conform to US-ASCII standards. If non-ASCII or unrecognizable characters are required, they must be encoded and decoded in URL or Base64 on the client, because the server does not perform such operations.

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

x-obs-tagging

String

No

Explanation:

An object's tag information in key-value pairs. Multiple tags can be added at the same time.

Example: x-obs-tagging:TagA=A&TagB&TagC

Restrictions:

  • If a tag key or value contains special characters, equal signs (=), or full-width characters, it must be URL-encoded.
  • If there is no equal sign (=) in a configuration, the tag value is considered left blank.

Value range:

None

Default value:

None
