Performing a Conditioned Download

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see API Reference.

When downloading an object, you can specify one or more conditions. Only when the conditions are met, the object will be downloaded. Otherwise, an error code will be returned and the download will fail.

You can set the following conditions:

Parameter

Description

Format

IfModifiedSince

Returns the object if it has been modified since the specified time; otherwise, an error is returned.

This parameter must conform to the HTTP time format specified in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt.

IfUnmodifiedSince

Returns the object if it has not been modified since the specified time; otherwise, an error is returned.

This parameter must conform to the HTTP time format specified in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt.

IfMatch

Returns the source object if its ETag is the same as the one specified by this parameter; otherwise, an exception is thrown.

Character string

IfNoneMatch

Returns the source object if its ETag is different from the one specified by this parameter; otherwise, an exception is thrown.

Character string

  • The ETag of an object is the MD5 check value of the object.
  • If a request includes IfUnmodifiedSince or IfMatch and the specified condition is not met, the object download will fail and an exception will be thrown with error code 412 Precondition Failed returned.
  • If a request includes IfModifiedSince or IfNoneMatch and the specified condition is not met, the object download will fail and an exception will be thrown with error code 304 Not Modified returned.

Sample code:

// Import the dependency library.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Import the SDK code library during source code installation.
// require 'obs-autoloader.php';
// Declare the namespace.
use Obs\ObsClient;
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
$obsClient = new ObsClient ( [

      //Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
      'key' => getenv('ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
      'secret' => getenv('SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
      'endpoint' => 'https://your-endpoint',
      'signature' => 'obs'
] );

$resp = $obsClient -> getObject([
       'Bucket' => 'bucketname',
       'Key' => 'objectname',
       'IfModifiedSince' => 'Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:00:00 GMT'
]);

printf("RequestId:%s\n", $resp['RequestId']);
printf("Object Content:\n");
