Performing a Conditioned Download

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference

When downloading an object, you can specify one or more conditions. Only when the conditions are met, the object will be downloaded. Otherwise, an exception will be thrown and the download will fail.

You can set the following conditions:

GetObjectRequest.setIfUnmodifiedSince

If-Match

Returns the source object if its ETag is the same as the one specified by this parameter; otherwise, an exception is thrown.

GetObjectRequest.setIfMatchTag

String endPoint = "https://your-endpoint";
String ak = "*** Provide your Access Key ***";
String sk = "*** Provide your Secret Key ***";

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
final ObsClient obsClient = new ObsClient(ak, sk, endPoint);

GetObjectRequest request = new GetObjectRequest("bucketname", "objectname");
request.setRangeStart(0l);
request.setRangeEnd(1000l);

request.setIfModifiedSince(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("2016-01-01"));
ObsObject obsObject = obsClient.getObject(request);

obsObject.getObjectContent().close();
