Object Storage Service:Conditional download

Download conditions

The following table describes the available object download conditions.

Usage notes

• In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access Object Storage Service (OSS) by using other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the regions and endpoints supported by OSS, see Regions, endpoints and open ports.

• In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.

• In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

• To perform conditional download, you must have the oss:GetObject permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Examples

The following sample code provides an example on how to use ossClient.getObject with download conditions to download an object. You can use ossClient.downloadFile with download conditions to download an object in a way that is similar to ossClient.getObject.

import com.aliyun.oss.ClientException;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSS;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSClientBuilder;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSException;
import com.aliyun.oss.model.GetObjectRequest;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Date;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
        String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
        // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
        EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = CredentialsProviderFactory.newEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
        // Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
        String bucketName = "examplebucket";
        // Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. Example: testfolder/exampleobject.txt. 
        String objectName = "testfolder/exampleobject.txt";
        String pathName = "D:\\localpath\\examplefile.txt";
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
        String region = "cn-hangzhou";

        // Create an OSSClient instance. 
        ClientBuilderConfiguration clientBuilderConfiguration = new ClientBuilderConfiguration();
        clientBuilderConfiguration.setSignatureVersion(SignVersion.V4);        
        OSS ossClient = OSSClientBuilder.create()
        .endpoint(endpoint)
        .credentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)
        .clientConfiguration(clientBuilderConfiguration)
        .region(region)               
        .build();

        try {
            GetObjectRequest request = new GetObjectRequest(bucketName, objectName);
            // For example, an object was last modified at 13:27:04, September 26, 2023. If the specified time is earlier than the last modified time, such as Tue Sep 25 13:27:04 CST 2023, the object meets the If-Modified-Since condition and the object is downloaded. 
            request.setModifiedSinceConstraint(new Date("Tue Sep 25 13:27:04 CST 2023"));

            // Download the object to your local device. 
            ossClient.getObject(request, new File(pathName));
        } catch (OSSException oe) {
            System.out.println("Caught an OSSException, which means your request made it to OSS, "
                    + "but was rejected with an error response for some reason.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + oe.getErrorMessage());
            System.out.println("Error Code:" + oe.getErrorCode());
            System.out.println("Request ID:" + oe.getRequestId());
            System.out.println("Host ID:" + oe.getHostId());
        } catch (ClientException ce) {
            System.out.println("Caught an ClientException, which means the client encountered "
                    + "a serious internal problem while trying to communicate with OSS, "
                    + "such as not being able to access the network.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + ce.getMessage());
        } finally {
            if (ossClient != null) {
                ossClient.shutdown();
            }
        }
    }
}
