Explanation:

ExposeHeader in the CORS rules of the bucket. It specifies the CORS-allowed additional headers in the response. These headers provide additional information to clients. By default, your browser can only access headers Content-Length and Content-Type. If your browser needs to access other headers, add them to a list of the allowed additional headers.

Restrictions:

Cache-Control header in the response. It specifies cache behaviors of the web page when an object is downloaded.

Default value:

None

ContentDisposition

string

Explanation:

Default value:

None

ContentEncoding

string

Explanation:

Content-Encoding header in the response. It specifies the content encoding format when an object is being downloaded.

Default value:

None

ContentLanguage

string

Explanation:

Content-Language header in the response. It specifies the content language format when an object is downloaded.

Default value:

ContentType

string

Explanation:

MIME type of the object file. MIME type is a standard way of describing a data type and is used by the browser to decide how to display data.

Value range:

See What Is Content-Type (MIME)?

Default value:

If you do not specify Content-Type when uploading an object, the SDK determines the object type based on the suffix of the specified object name and automatically assigns a value to Content-Type.

Expires

Explanation:

Expires header in the response

Default value:

None

LastModified

time.Time

Explanation:

Last modification time of the object

Restrictions:

The time must be in the ISO8601 format, for example, 2018-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.

Default value:

None

ETag

string

Explanation:

Base64-encoded, 128-bit MD5 value of an object. ETag is the unique identifier of the object content. It can be used to determine whether the object content is changed. For example, if ETag value is A when an object is uploaded but changes to B when the object is downloaded, it indicates that the object content is changed. The ETag reflects changes to the object content, rather than the object metadata. An uploaded object or copied object has a unique ETag.

Restrictions:

If an object is encrypted using server-side encryption, the ETag is not the MD5 value of the object.

Value range:

The value must contain 32 characters.

Default value:

None

VersionId

string

Explanation:

Object version ID

Value range:

The value must contain 32 characters.

Default value:

None

Restore

string

Explanation:

Restore status of an object. For an Archive object that is being restored or has been restored, this header is returned.

For example, ongoing-request="true" indicates that the object is being restored. ongoing-request="false", expiry-date="Wed, 7 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT" indicates that the object has been restored. expiry-date indicates when the restored object expires.

Restrictions:

If the object is not in the Archive storage class, leave this parameter blank.

Default value:

None

Expiration

string

Explanation:

Expiration details of the object, for example, "expiry-date=\"Mon, 11 Sep 2023 00:00:00 GMT\""

Default value:

None

SseHeader

SseCHeader or SseKmsHeader

Explanation:

Server-side encryption header. For details about SSE-C, see Table 7.

For details about SSE-KMS, see Table 8.

WebsiteRedirectLocation

string

Explanation:

If the bucket is configured with website hosting, the request for obtaining the object can be redirected to another object in the bucket or an external URL.

The request is redirected to object anotherPage.html in the same bucket:

WebsiteRedirectLocation:/anotherPage.html

The request is redirected to an external URL http://www.example.com/:

WebsiteRedirectLocation:http://www.example.com/

OBS obtains the specified value from the header and stores it in the object metadata WebsiteRedirectLocation.

Restrictions:

  • The value must start with a slash (/), http://, or https:// and cannot exceed 2 KB.
  • OBS only supports redirection for objects in the root directory of a bucket.

Default value:

None

Metadata

map[string]string

Explanation:

Custom metadata of the object. You can add a header starting with x-obs-meta- in the request to define metadata. The custom metadata will be returned in the response when you retrieve the object or query the object metadata.

Restrictions:

  • The custom metadata cannot exceed 8 KB. To measure the custom metadata, sum the number of bytes in the UTF-8 encoding of each key and value.
  • The custom metadata keys are case insensitive, but are stored in lowercase in OBS. The key values are case sensitive.
  • Both custom metadata keys and their values must conform to US-ASCII standards. If non-ASCII or unrecognizable characters are required, they must be encoded or decoded in URL or Base64 on the client, because the server does not perform such operations.

Default value:

None
