Copying an Object (SDK for Go)

Function

This API copies an object stored in OBS to another path. You can create a backup up to 5 GB for an object in a specified bucket by a single operation.

Restrictions

  • To copy an object, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:object:PutObject in IAM or PutObject in a bucket policy).
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • The object copy request carries the information about the bucket and object to be copied in the header field. The message body cannot be carried.
  • The target object size ranges from 0 to 5 GB. If the source object size exceeds 5 GB, you can only copy some objects using Multipart Uploads (SDK for Go).

Method

func (obsClient ObsClient) CopyObject(input *CopyObjectInput) (output *CopyObjectOutput, err error)

Default value:

None

Key

string

Yes

Explanation:

Target object name An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name.

For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt.

No

Explanation:

If the source object is modified before the time specified by this parameter, the object is copied. Otherwise, an error is returned.

Default value:

None

WebsiteRedirectLocation

string

No

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.

No

Explanation:

Custom metadata of the target 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 necessary, they must be encoded or decoded in URL or Base64 on the client, because the server side does not perform any decoding.

Value range:

To obtain the account ID, see How Do I Get My Account ID and User ID?

Default value:

None

SuccessActionRedirect

string

No

Explanation:

If the value is valid and the request is successful, OBS returns status code 303. Location contains SuccessActionRedirect as well as the bucket name, object name, and object ETag.

If the value is invalid, OBS ignores this parameter. In such case, the Location header is the object address, and OBS returns a status code based on whether the operation succeeds or fails.

Default value:

Parameter

Type

Description

StatusCode

int

Explanation:

HTTP status code

Value range:

A status code is a group of digits that can be 2xx (indicating successes) or 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code.

ETag

string

Explanation:
