Get Content

• Purpose: Retrieves a piece of content along with its properties
• Request: GET https://host:port/durastore/spaceID/contentID ? (storeID) (attachment)
  
  • if attachment param value is true, a Content-Disposition header is included with the response
• Response Code: 200 (on success)
• Response Body: The content stream

• Response Headers: All available content properties, example:

  Code Block
  language none
  Content-Type: text/plain Content-Length: 5732 Content-MD5: 3456709234785097473839202 ETag: 3456709234785097473839202 x-dura-meta-content-name: Testing Content x-dura-meta-content-owner: JSmith

Get Content Properties

• Purpose: Retrieves the properties of a piece of content without the content itself
• Request: HEAD https://host:port/durastore/spaceID/contentID ? (storeID)
• Response Code: 200 (on success)
• Response Headers: Same as Get content (above)

Store Content

• Purpose: Adds a piece of content to the store
• Request: PUT https://host:port/durastore/spaceID/contentID ? (storeID)
• Request Body: Content to be added

• Request Headers: Properties about the content, example:

  Code Block
  language none
  Content-Type: text/plain Content-MD5: 4cd56e137a93a1accb43c5d32f4afffb x-dura-meta-content-name: Testing Content x-dura-meta-content-owner: JSmith

• Response Code:
  
  • 201 (on success)
  • 400 (if the content ID is invalid)
  • 404 (if the the given space does not exist)
  • 409 (if the provided checksum did not match the stored content checksum)
  • 500 (on error)
• Response Headers:
  
  • MD5 checksum of stored content
  • ETag of stored content

  • Location of the new content (i.e. the URL used to create the content), example:

    Code Block
    language bash
    Content-MD5: 4cd56e137a93a1accb43c5d32f4afffb ETag: 4cd56e137a93a1accb43c5d32f4afffb Location: https://myhost:8080/durastore/space1/content1

• Usage Notes
  
  • When the optional Content-MD5 header is included, the final checksum of the stored file is compared against the MD5 value included in the header to ensure that the file was stored correctly. If the header is not included, an MD5 checksum is computed as the file is transferred to storage, and that value is used in the final comparison.

Copy Content

• Purpose: Copies a piece of content from a source space to a destination space within a given store
• Request: PUT https://host:port/durastore/spaceID/contentID ? (storeID)
• Request Body: must not exist

• Request Headers: Copy source, example:

  Code Block
  language none
  x-dura-meta-copy-source: space-id/content-id

• Optional Request Headers: Copy source store, example:

  Code Block

  x-dura-meta-copy-source-store: storeId

• Response Code: 201 (on success)
• Response Headers:
  
  • MD5 checksum of stored content
  • ETag of stored content

  • Location of the new content (i.e. the URL used to create the content), example:

    Content-MD5: 4cd56e137a93a1accb43c5d32f4afffb ETag: 4cd56e137a93a1accb43c5d32f4afffb Location: https://myhost:8080/durastore/space1/content1

• Usage Notes
  
  • The properties associated with the source content item are copied to the destination content item.
  • The source and destination spaces may be the same.
  • Including the optional header indicates that the copy action should retrieve the source file from a space in the specified storage provider. This allows for copying a file from one storage provider to another.
