Uploading an Object Using the POST Method

You can also upload an object using the POST method. If the bucket versioning state is set to Enabled, the system automatically generates a unique version ID for the object. If the bucket versioning state is set to Suspended, the version ID of the object is null, which is returned in the response header x-obs-version-id.

The format of a POST upload request is as follows:
