Downloading an Object
Functions
This operation downloads an object 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.
Versioning
By default, the GET operation returns the current version of an object. If the current version of the object is a delete marker, OBS returns a code meaning that the object does not exist. To obtain an object of a specified version, the versionId parameter can be used to specify the desired version.
Request Syntax
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
GET /ObjectName HTTP/1.1 Host: bucketname.obs.region.example.com Date: date Authorization: authorization Range:bytes=byte_range <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 |

Response Headers
The response to the request uses common headers. For details, see Table 1.
In addition to the common response headers, the headers listed in Table 3 may be used.
|
Header |
Description |
|---|---|
|
x-obs-expiration |
When an object has its lifecycle rule, the object expiration time is subject to its lifecycle rule. This header field is use expiry-date to describe the object expiration date. If the lifecycle rule is configured only for the entire bucket not individual objects, the object expiration time is subject to the bucket lifecycle rule. This header field uses the expiry-date and rule-id to describe the detailed expiration information of objects. If no lifecycle rule is configured, this header field is not contained in the response. Type: string |
|
x-obs-website-redirect-location |
Indicates the redirected-to location. If the bucket is configured with website information, this parameter can be set for the object metadata so that the website endpoint will evaluate the request for the object as a 301 redirect to another object in the same bucket or an external URL. Type: string |
|
x-obs-delete-marker |
Indicates whether an object is a delete marker. If the object is not marked as deleted, the response does not contain this header. Type: boolean Value options: true, false The default value is false. |
|
x-obs-version-id |
Object version ID. If the object has no version number specified, the response does not contain this header. Valid value: string Default value: none |
|
x-obs-object-type |
If the object is not a normal one, this header field is returned. The value can be Appendable. Type: string |
|
x-obs-next-append-position |
This header field is returned when the object is an appendable object. Type: integer |
