Info

CLUSTER or <cluster> in a URL stands for <host>[:<port>], where host is a fully qualified domain name or IP address, plus a port number if other than 80. If the Host header does not match the domain name, override it with the domain= argument.

  1. Start the upload with a 0-byte POST. Set the encoding (&encoding=2:1) if there is no default encoding or you need a non-default setting:

    Initiate the upload

    Code Block
    languagebash
    curl -i 
    	"${cluster}/
    	?uploads" 
    	-XPOST
  2. In the response, locate the headers for the UploadID and the Content-UUID, which is the new object being created:

    Returned headers

    Code Block
    languagetext
    Castor-System-UploadID: 
    	c88fe8a5daf98f7ce84dc4947238f5c1d0b0b42b8ce464e4566cc2c080ecf401d0b0b42b8ce464e4566cc2c080ecf4010P 
    Content-UUID: 
    	c88fe8a5daf98f7ce84dc4947238f5c1
  3. Write the first part using the UploadID and Content-UUID and partNumber=1:

    Upload the first part

    Code Block
    languagebash
    curl -i 
    	"${cluster}/c88fe8a5daf98f7ce84dc4947238f5c1
    	?partNumber=1
    	&uploadid=c88fe8a5daf98f7ce84dc4947238f5c1d0b0b42b8ce464e4566cc2c080ecf401d0b0b42b8ce464e4566cc2c080ecf4010P" 
    	-XPOST 
    	--data-binary 
    	"part 1 data"

    Use the Content-UUID returned by this post in the manifest to complete the upload.

  4. Start the second part using the UploadID and Content-UUID and partNumber=2:

    Upload the second part

    Code Block
    languagebash

    	?partNumber=2
    	&uploadid=c88fe8a5daf98f7ce84dc4947238f5c1d0b0b42b8ce464e4566cc2c080ecf401d0b0b42b8ce464e4566cc2c080ecf4010P"
