Use Content-Encoding metadata
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
When you create an object or update its metadata, you can optionally set
|
|
the ``Content-Encoding`` metadata. This metadata enables you to indicate
|
|
that the object content is compressed without losing the identity of the
|
|
underlying media type (``Content-Type``) of the file, such as a video.
|
|
|
|
**Example Content-Encoding header request: HTTP**
|
|
|
|
This example assigns an attachment type to the ``Content-Encoding``
|
|
header that indicates how the file is downloaded:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: none
|
|
|
|
PUT /<api version>/<account>/<container>/<object> HTTP/1.1
|
|
Host: storage.clouddrive.com
|
|
X-Auth-Token: eaaafd18-0fed-4b3a-81b4-663c99ec1cbb
|
|
Content-Type: video/mp4
|
|
Content-Encoding: gzip
