Performing a Partial Download

When only partial data of an object is required, you can use range-based download. If the specified range is from 0 to 1,000, data from byte 0 to byte 1,000, 1,001 bytes in total, are returned. If the specified range is invalid, data of the whole object is returned.

static OBSClient *client;
NSString *endPoint = @"your-endpoint";
// Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
// Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
char* ak_env = getenv("AccessKeyID");
char* sk_env = getenv("SecretAccessKey");
NSString *AK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:ak_env];
NSString *SK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:sk_env];
    
// Initialize identity authentication.
OBSStaticCredentialProvider *credentialProvider = [[OBSStaticCredentialProvider alloc] initWithAccessKey:AK secretKey:SK];
    
//Initialize service configuration.
OBSServiceConfiguration *conf = [[OBSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithURLString:endPoint credentialProvider:credentialProvider];
    
// Initialize an instance of OBSClient.
client = [[OBSClient alloc] initWithConfiguration:conf];
    
// Streaming download
OBSGetObjectToDataRequest *request = [[OBSGetObjectToDataRequest alloc]initWithBucketName:@"bucketname" objectKey:@"objectname"];
    
// Set the start and end positions of the download range to 0 and 10000 respectively.
request.range = @"bytes=0-1000";
    
//Query the download progress.
request.downloadProgressBlock = ^(int64_t bytesWritten, int64_t totalBytesWritten, int64_t totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
    NSLog(@"%0.1f%%",(float)(totalBytesWritten)*100/(float)totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
};
    
// Receive downloaded data.
__block NSMutableData *objectData = [NSMutableData new];
request.onReceiveDataBlock = ^(NSData *data) {
    [objectData appendData:data];
};
    
// Download result
[client getObject:request completionHandler:^(OBSGetObjectResponse *response, NSError *error){
    NSLog(@"%@",response);
}] ;

• If the specified range is invalid (because the start or end position is set to a negative integer or the range is longer than the object length), data of the whole object will be returned.
