Downloading an Object
Functions
This operation downloads objects from OBS. Before using this GET operation, check that you have the read permission for the target object. If the object owner has granted anonymous users the read permission for the object, anonymous users can access this object without using the authentication header field.
Server-Side Encryption
If the object uploaded to the server is encrypted on the server using the encryption key provided by the client, downloading the object requires including the encryption key in the message.
Versioning
By default, the GET operation returns the current version of an object. If the current version of the object is a deletion marker, OBS returns a code meaning non-existence of the object. To obtain an object of a specified version, the versionId parameter can be used to specify the desired version.
Cold Objects
If the object you want to download is in the Cold storage class, ensure that this object has been restored before you download it. The response varies depending on the object's restore state. If an object has been restored, the x-obs-restore header (indicating the expiry date of the object) is returned when the object is successfully downloaded. If you send a request to download Cold objects that are not restored or are being restored, a 403 Forbidden error will be returned.

Host: bucketname.obs.region.example.com

<Optional Additional Header>
|
The field is optional. If it does not exist, you can obtain the whole content.
Request Parameters
In a GET request, you can override values for a set of message headers using the request parameters. Message headers that you can override are Content-Type, Content-Language, Expires, Cache-Control, Content-Disposition, and Content-Encoding. If the target object has multiple versions, use the versionId parameter to specify the version to be downloaded. For details, see Table 1.
OBS does not process Accept-Encoding carried in a request or compress or decompress the uploaded data. The client determines whether to compress or decompress the data. Some HTTP clients may decompress data based on the Content-Encoding returned by the server. The client program needs to determine whether to decompress and how to decompress the data. To decompress the data, it can modify Content-Encoding (the object metadata stored in OBS) or rewrite Content-Encoding the object is downloaded. If an object download request specifies the rewrite header, the standard HTTP message header returned by OBS is subject to the rewrite content specified in the request.

Request Headers
This request uses common headers. In addition, you can add additional headers to this request. Table 2 describes the additional headers.
Header |
Description |
Mandatory |
|---|---|---|
Range |
Obtains the object content within the scope defined by Range. If the parameter value is invalid, the entire object is obtained. Range value starts from 0, and the maximum value equals the object length minus 1. The start value of Range is mandatory. If only the start value is specified, the system obtains the object content from the start value to default maximum value. After the Range header field is carried, the value of ETag in the response message is the ETag of the object instead of the ETag of the object in the Range field. Type: string bytes=byte_range Example 1: bytes=0-4 Example 2: bytes=1024 Example 3: bytes=10-20, 30-40 (multiple ranges) |
No |
If-Modified-Since |
Returns the object only if it has been modified since the time specified by this header. Otherwise, 304 Not Modified is returned. Type: HTTP time character string complying with the format specified at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt |
No |
If-Unmodified-Since |
Returns the object only if it has not been modified since the time specified by this header. Otherwise, 412 Precondition Failed is returned. Type: HTTP time character string complying with the format specified at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt |
No |
If-Match |
Returns the object only if its ETag is the same as the one specified by this header. Otherwise, 412 Precondition Failed is returned. Type: string ETag example: 0f64741bf7cb1089e988e4585d0d3434 |
No |
If-None-Match |
Returns the object only if its ETag is different from the one specified by this header. Otherwise, 304 Not Modified is returned. Type: string ETag example: 0f64741bf7cb1089e988e4585d0d3434 |
No |
x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm |
Indicates the encryption algorithm when SSE-C is used. Type: string Example: x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm:AES256 Constraint: This header must be used together with x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key and x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5. |
No. This header is required when SSE-C is used. |
x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key |
Indicates the key for decrypting objects when SSE-C is used. Type: string Example: x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key:K7QkYpBkM5+hca27fsNkUnNVaobncnLht/rCB2o/9Cw= Constraint: This header is a Base64-encoded 256-bit key and must be used together with x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm and x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5. |
No. This header is required when SSE-C is used. |
x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5 |
Indicates the MD5 value of the encryption key when SSE-C is used. The MD5 value is used to check whether any error occurs during the transmission of the key. Type: string Example: x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5:4XvB3tbNTN+tIEVa0/fGaQ== Constraint: This header is a Base64-encoded 128-bit MD5 value and must be used together with x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm and x-obs-server-side-encryption-customer-key. |
