Some object write APIs support the user-defined header x-obs-persistent-headers.

You can add the x-obs-persistent-headers header in the HTTP requests sent over some object write APIs to specify one or more user-defined message headers. User-defined message headers will be returned in the response header when you retrieve the object or query the object metadata.

The APIs supporting this feature include object upload APIs (PUT/POST), as well as those for copying objects, appending objects, and initializing multipart upload tasks.

Data+ is a data processing service provided by OBS. It allows you to orchestrate workflows to automatically process (such as parse, transcode, and screenshot) data stored in OBS. Data+ provides a GUI that is easy and intuitive for you to work with. It also provides pre-defined workflow templates for various scenarios, or you can customize functions on your terms.

The best practice case for accessing OBS through an NGINX reverse proxy is released.

In some cases, you may need to set a blacklist and a whitelist of external IP addresses to control external access, so you need to provide a fixed IP address for users to access OBS. Also for security purposes, an OBS bucket does not have a fixed IP address, because the DNS service of HUAWEI CLOUD resolves the bucket access domain name to different IP addresses. In this case, you can set up an NGINX reverse proxy server on an ECS to allow users to access OBS through a fixed IP address.

OBS GO SDK supports resumable data upload.

Uploading large files often fails due to poor network conditions or program breakdowns. It is a waste of resources to restart the upload process upon an upload failure, and the restarted upload process may still suffer from the unstable network. The API for resumable data upload effectively solves this problem.
