.. -*- rst -*- ======= Objects ======= Creates, replaces, shows details for, and deletes objects. Copies objects from another object with a new or different name. Updates object metadata. For more information and concepts about objects see `Object Storage API overview `_ and `Large Objects `_. Get object content and metadata =============================== .. rest_method:: GET /v1/{account}/{container}/{object} Downloads the object content and gets the object metadata. This operation returns the object metadata in the response headers and the object content in the response body. If this is a large object, the response body contains the concatenated content of the segment objects. To get the manifest instead of concatenated segment objects for a static large object, use the ``multipart-manifest`` query parameter. Example requests and responses: - Show object details for the ``goodbye`` object in the ``marktwain`` container: :: curl -i $publicURL/marktwain/goodbye -X GET -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" :: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 14 Accept-Ranges: bytes Last-Modified: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 16:41:49 GMT Etag: 451e372e48e0f6b1114fa0724aa79fa1 X-Timestamp: 1389804109.39027 X-Object-Meta-Orig-Filename: goodbyeworld.txt Content-Type: application/octet-stream X-Trans-Id: tx8145a190241f4cf6b05f5-0052d82a34 X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx8145a190241f4cf6b05f5-0052d82a34 Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:51:32 GMT Goodbye World! - Show object details for the ``goodbye`` object, which does not exist, in the ``janeausten`` container: :: curl -i $publicURL/janeausten/goodbye -X GET -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" :: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Content-Length: 70 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx073f7cbb850c4c99934b9-0052d82b04 X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx073f7cbb850c4c99934b9-0052d82b04 Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:55:00 GMT

Create or replace object ======================== .. rest_method:: PUT /v1/{account}/{container}/{object} Creates an object with data content and metadata, or replaces an existing object with data content and metadata. The PUT operation always creates an object. If you use this operation on an existing object, you replace the existing object and metadata rather than modifying the object. Consequently, this operation returns the ``Created (201)`` response code. If you use this operation to copy a manifest object, the new object is a normal object and not a copy of the manifest. Instead it is a concatenation of all the segment objects. This means that you cannot copy objects larger than 5 GB. Note that the provider may have limited the characters which are allowed in an object name. Any name limits are exposed under the ``name_check`` key in the ``/info`` discoverability response. Regardless of ``name_check`` limitations, names must be URL quoted UTF-8. To create custom metadata, use the ``X-Object-Meta-name`` header, where ``name`` is the name of the metadata item. .. include:: metadata_header_syntax.inc Example requests and responses: - Create object: :: curl -i $publicURL/janeausten/helloworld.txt -X PUT -d "Hello" -H "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" :: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Last-Modified: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:28:35 GMT Content-Length: 0 Etag: 8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx4d5e4f06d357462bb732f-0052d96843 X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx4d5e4f06d357462bb732f-0052d96843 Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:28:35 GMT - Replace object: :: curl -i $publicURL/janeausten/helloworld.txt -X PUT -d "Hola" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" :: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Last-Modified: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:28:35 GMT Content-Length: 0 Etag: f688ae26e9cfa3ba6235477831d5122e Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx4d5e4f06d357462bb732f-0052d96843 X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx4d5e4f06d357462bb732f-0052d96843 Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:28:35 GMT The ``Created (201)`` response code indicates a successful write. If the container for the object does not already exist, the operation returns the ``404 Not Found`` response code. If the request times out, the operation returns the ``Request Timeout (408)`` response code. The ``Length Required (411)`` response code indicates a missing ``Transfer-Encoding`` or ``Content-Length`` request header. If the MD5 checksum of the data that is written to the object store does not match the optional ``ETag`` value, the operation returns the ``Unprocessable Entity (422)`` response code.

You can copy an object to a new object with the same name. Copying to the same name is an alternative to using POST to add metadata to an object. With POST, you must specify all the metadata. With COPY, you can add additional metadata to the object. With COPY, you can set the ``X-Fresh-Metadata`` header to ``true`` to copy the object without any existing metadata. Alternatively, you can use PUT with the ``X-Copy-From`` request header to accomplish the same operation as the COPY object operation. The COPY operation always creates an object. If you use this operation on an existing object, you replace the existing object and metadata rather than modifying the object. Consequently, this operation returns the ``Created (201)`` response code. Normally, if you use this operation to copy a manifest object, the new object is a normal object and not a copy of the manifest. Instead it is a concatenation of all the segment objects. This means that you cannot copy objects larger than 5 GB in size. To copy the manifest object, you include the ``multipart-manifest=get`` query string in the COPY request. The new object contains the same manifest as the original. The segment objects are not copied. Instead, both the original and new manifest objects share the same set of segment objects. To copy a symlink either with a COPY or a PUT with the ``X-Copy-From`` request, include the ``symlink=get`` query string. The new symlink will have the same target as the original. The target object is not copied. Instead, both the original and new symlinks point to the same target object. All metadata is preserved during the object copy. If you specify metadata on the request to copy the object, either PUT or COPY , the metadata overwrites any conflicting keys on the target (new) object. Example requests and responses: - Copy the ``goodbye`` object from the ``marktwain`` container to the ``janeausten`` container: :: curl -i $publicURL/marktwain/goodbye -X COPY -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Destination: janeausten/goodbye" :: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Length: 0 X-Copied-From-Last-Modified: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 21:19:45 GMT X-Copied-From: marktwain/goodbye Last-Modified: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:22:57 GMT Etag: 451e372e48e0f6b1114fa0724aa79fa1 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Object-Meta-Movie: AmericanPie X-Trans-Id: txdcb481ad49d24e9a81107-0052d97501 X-Openstack-Request-Id: txdcb481ad49d24e9a81107-0052d97501 Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:22:57 GMT - Alternatively, you can use PUT to copy the ``goodbye`` object from the ``marktwain`` container to the ``janeausten`` container. This request requires a ``Content-Length`` header, even if it is set to zero (0). :: curl -i $publicURL/janeausten/goodbye -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "X-Copy-From: /marktwain/goodbye" -H "Content-Length: 0" :: HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Length: 0 X-Copied-From-Last-Modified: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 21:19:45 GMT X-Copied-From: marktwain/goodbye Last-Modified: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:22:57 GMT Etag: 451e372e48e0f6b1114fa0724aa79fa1 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Object-Meta-Movie: AmericanPie X-Trans-Id: txdcb481ad49d24e9a81107-0052d97501 X-Openstack-Request-Id: txdcb481ad49d24e9a81107-0052d97501 Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:22:57 GMT When several replicas exist, the system copies from the most recent replica. That is, the COPY operation behaves as though the ``X-Newest`` header is in the request.

Object deletion occurs immediately at request time. Any subsequent GET, HEAD, POST, or DELETE operations will return a ``404 Not Found`` error code. For static large object manifests, you can add the ``?multipart- manifest=delete`` query parameter. This operation deletes the segment objects and, if all deletions succeed, this operation deletes the manifest object. A DELETE request made to a symlink path will delete the symlink rather than the target object. An alternative to using the DELETE operation is to use the POST operation with the ``bulk-delete`` query parameter. Example request and response: - Delete the ``helloworld`` object from the ``marktwain`` container: :: curl -i $publicURL/marktwain/helloworld -X DELETE -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" :: HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx36c7606fcd1843f59167c-0052d6fdac X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx36c7606fcd1843f59167c-0052d6fdac Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 21:29:16 GMT Typically, the DELETE operation does not return a response body. However, with the ``multipart-manifest=delete`` query parameter, the response body contains a list of manifest and segment objects and the status of their DELETE operations. Normal response codes: 204 Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - account: account - container: container - object: object - multipart-manifest: multipart-manifest_delete - X-Auth-Token: X-Auth-Token - X-Service-Token: X-Service-Token - X-Trans-Id-Extra: X-Trans-Id-Extra Response Parameters ------------------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - Date: Date - X-Timestamp: X-Timestamp - Content-Length: Content-Length_cud_resp - Content-Type: Content-Type_cud_resp - X-Trans-Id: X-Trans-Id - X-Openstack-Request-Id: X-Openstack-Request-Id Show object metadata ==================== .. rest_method:: HEAD /v1/{account}/{container}/{object} Shows object metadata.

If we had used ``-i -X HEAD`` and the ``Content-Length`` response header is non-zero, the cURL command stalls after it prints the response headers because it is waiting for a response body. However, the Object Storage system does not return a response body for the HEAD operation. If the request succeeds, the operation returns the ``200`` response code.

Create or update object metadata ================================ .. rest_method:: POST /v1/{account}/{container}/{object} Creates or updates object metadata. To create or update custom metadata, use the ``X-Object-Meta-name`` header, where ``name`` is the name of the metadata item. .. include:: metadata_header_syntax.inc In addition to the custom metadata, you can update the ``Content-Type``, ``Content-Encoding``, ``Content-Disposition``, and ``X-Delete-At`` system metadata items. However you cannot update other system metadata, such as ``Content-Length`` or ``Last-Modified``. You can use COPY as an alternate to the POST operation by copying to the same object. With the POST operation you must specify all metadata items, whereas with the COPY operation, you need to specify only changed or additional items. All metadata is preserved during the object copy. If you specify metadata on the request to copy the object, either PUT or COPY , the metadata overwrites any conflicting keys on the target (new) object. .. note:: While using COPY instead of POST allows sending only a subset of the metadata, it carries the cost of reading and rewriting the entire contents of the object. A POST request deletes any existing custom metadata that you added with a previous PUT or POST request. Consequently, you must specify all custom metadata in the request. However, system metadata is unchanged by the POST request unless you explicitly supply it in a request header. You can also set the ``X-Delete-At`` or ``X-Delete-After`` header to define when to expire the object. When used as described in this section, the POST operation creates or replaces metadata. This form of the operation has no request body. There are alternate uses of the POST operation as follows: - You can also use the `form POST feature `_ to upload objects. - The POST operation when used with the ``bulk-delete`` query parameter can be used to delete multiple objects and containers in a single operation. - The POST operation when used with the ``extract-archive`` query parameter can be used to upload an archive (tar file). The archive is then extracted to create objects. A POST request must not include X-Symlink-Target header. If it does then a 400 status code is returned and the object metadata is not modified. When a POST request is sent to a symlink, the metadata will be applied to the symlink, but the request will result in a ``307 Temporary Redirect`` response to the client. The POST is never redirected to the target object, thus a GET/HEAD request to the symlink without ``symlink=get`` will not return the metadata that was sent as part of the POST request.
