Using MD5 to Verify File Consistency During Uploads (SDK for Java)

You can use MD5 to verify file consistency during uploads through the following APIs:

Sample Code 1: Uploading an Object - File-Based

This example uploads local file localimage.jpg to bucket examplebucket as object objectname and calls ObsClient.base64Md5 to calculate the Content-MD5 header.
