| 22 <B>OVERVIEW OF METADATA</B> |
| 23 Objects can have associated metadata, which control aspects of how |
| 24 GET requests are handled, including Content-Type, Cache-Control, |
| 25 Content-Disposition, and Content-Encoding (discussed in more detail in |
| 26 the subsections below). In addition, you can set custom metadata that |
| 27 can be used by applications (e.g., tagging that particular objects possess |
| 28 some property). |
| 29 |
| 30 There are two ways to set metadata on objects: |
| 31 |
| 32 - at upload time you can specify one or more headers to associate with |
| 33 objects, using the gsutil -h option. For example, the following command |
| 34 would cause gsutil to set the Content-Type and Cache-Control for each |
| 35 of the files being uploaded: |
| 36 |
| 37 gsutil -h "Content-Type:text/html" \\ |
| 38 -h "Cache-Control:public, max-age=3600" cp -r images \\ |
| 39 gs://bucket/images |
| 40 |
| 41 Note that -h is an option on the gsutil command, not the cp sub-command. |
| 42 |
| 43 - You can set or remove metadata fields from already uploaded objects using |
| 44 the gsutil setmeta command. See "gsutil help setmeta". |
| 45 |
| 46 More details about specific pieces of metadata are discussed below. |
| 47 |
| 48 |
| 49 <B>CONTENT TYPE</B> |
| 50 The most commonly set metadata is Content-Type (also known as MIME type), |
| 51 which allows browsers to render the object properly. |
| 52 gsutil sets the Content-Type automatically at upload time, based on each |
| 53 filename extension. For example, uploading files with names ending in .txt |
| 54 will set Content-Type to text/plain. If you're running gsutil on Linux or |
| 55 MacOS and would prefer to have content type set based on naming plus content |
| 56 examination, see the use_magicfile configuration variable in the gsutil/boto |
| 57 configuration file (See also "gsutil help config"). In general, using |
| 58 use_magicfile is more robust and configurable, but is not available on |
| 59 Windows. |
| 60 |
| 61 If you specify a Content-Type header with -h when uploading content (like the |
| 62 example gsutil command given in the previous section), it overrides the |
| 63 Content-Type that would have been set based on filename extension or content. |
| 64 This can be useful if the Content-Type detection algorithm doesn't work as |
| 65 desired for some of your files. |
| 66 |
| 67 You can also completely suppress content type detection in gsutil, by |
| 68 specifying an empty string on the Content-Type header: |
| 69 |
| 70 gsutil -h 'Content-Type:' cp -r images gs://bucket/images |
| 71 |
| 72 In this case, the Google Cloud Storage service will not attempt to detect |
| 73 the content type. In general this approach will work better than using |
| 74 filename extension-based content detection in gsutil, because the list of |
| 75 filename extensions is kept more current in the server-side content detection |
| 76 system than in the Python library upon which gsutil content type detection |
| 77 depends. (For example, at the time of writing this, the filename extension |
| 78 ".webp" was recognized by the server-side content detection system, but |
| 79 not by gsutil.) |
| 80 |
| 81 |
| 82 <B>CACHE-CONTROL</B> |
| 83 Another commonly set piece of metadata is Cache-Control, which allows |
| 84 you to control whether and for how long browser and Internet caches are |
| 85 allowed to cache your objects. Cache-Control only applies to objects with |
| 86 a public-read ACL. Non-public data are not cacheable. |
| 87 |
| 88 Here's an example of uploading an object set to allow caching: |
| 89 |
| 90 gsutil -h "Cache-Control:public,max-age=3600" cp -a public-read \\ |
| 91 -r html gs://bucket/html |
| 92 |
| 93 This command would upload all files in the html directory (and subdirectories) |
| 94 and make them publicly readable and cacheable, with cache expiration of |
| 95 one hour. |
| 96 |
| 97 Note that if you allow caching, at download time you may see older versions |
| 98 of objects after uploading a newer replacement object. Note also that because |
| 99 objects can be cached at various places on the Internet there is no way to |
| 100 force a cached object to expire globally (unlike the way you can force your |
| 101 browser to refresh its cache). |
| 102 |
| 103 Another use of the Cache-Control header is through the "no-transform" value, |
| 104 which instructs Google Cloud Storage to not apply any content transformations |
| 105 based on specifics of a download request, such as removing gzip |
| 106 content-encoding for incompatible clients. Note that this parameter is only |
| 107 respected by the XML API. The Google Cloud Storage JSON API respects only the |
| 108 no-cache and max-age Cache-Control parameters. |
| 109 |
| 110 Note that if you upload an object with a public-read ACL and don't include a |
| 111 Cache-Control header, it will be served with a Cache-Control header allowing |
| 112 the object to be cached for 3600 seconds. This will not happen if the object |
| 113 is uploaded with a non-public ACL and then changed to public. Moreover, if you |
| 114 upload an object with a public-read ACL and later change the ACL not to be |
| 115 public-read, the object will no longer be served with the default |
| 116 Cache-Control header noted above (so will be served as not cacheable). |
| 117 |
| 118 For details about how to set the Cache-Control header see |
| 119 "gsutil help setmeta". |
| 120 |
| 121 |
| 122 <B>CONTENT-ENCODING</B> |
| 123 You can specify a Content-Encoding to indicate that an object is compressed |
| 124 (for example, with gzip compression) while maintaining its Content-Type. |
| 125 You will need to ensure that the files have been compressed using the |
| 126 specified Content-Encoding before using gsutil to upload them. Consider the |
| 127 following example for Linux: |
| 128 |
| 129 echo "Highly compressible text" | gzip > foo.txt |
| 130 gsutil -h "Content-Encoding:gzip" -h "Content-Type:text/plain" \\ |
| 131 cp foo.txt gs://bucket/compressed |
| 132 |
| 133 Note that this is different from uploading a gzipped object foo.txt.gz with |
| 134 Content-Type: application/x-gzip because most browsers are able to |
| 135 dynamically decompress and process objects served with Content-Encoding: gzip |
| 136 based on the underlying Content-Type. |
| 137 |
| 138 For compressible content, using Content-Encoding: gzip saves network and |
| 139 storage costs, and improves content serving performance. However, for content |
| 140 that is already inherently compressed (archives and many media formats, for |
| 141 instance) applying another level of compression via Content-Encoding is |
| 142 typically detrimental to both object size and performance and should be |
| 143 avoided. |
| 144 |
| 145 Note also that gsutil provides an easy way to cause content to be compressed |
| 146 and stored with Content-Encoding: gzip: see the -z option in "gsutil help cp". |
| 147 |
| 148 |
| 149 <B>CONTENT-DISPOSITION</B> |
| 150 You can set Content-Disposition on your objects, to specify presentation |
| 151 information about the data being transmitted. Here's an example: |
| 152 |
| 153 gsutil -h 'Content-Disposition:attachment; filename=filename.ext' \\ |
| 154 cp -r attachments gs://bucket/attachments |
| 155 |
| 156 Setting the Content-Disposition allows you to control presentation style |
| 157 of the content, for example determining whether an attachment should be |
| 158 automatically displayed vs should require some form of action from the user to |
| 159 open it. See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.5.1 |
| 160 for more details about the meaning of Content-Disposition. |
| 161 |
| 162 |
| 163 <B>CUSTOM METADATA</B> |
| 164 You can add your own custom metadata (e.g,. for use by your application) |
| 165 to an object by setting a header that starts with "x-goog-meta", for example: |
| 166 |
| 167 gsutil -h x-goog-meta-reviewer:jane cp mycode.java gs://bucket/reviews |
| 168 |
| 169 You can add multiple differently named custom metadata fields to each object. |
| 170 |
| 171 |
| 172 <B>SETTABLE FIELDS; FIELD VALUES</B> |
| 173 You can't set some metadata fields, such as ETag and Content-Length. The |
| 174 fields you can set are: |
| 175 |
| 176 - Cache-Control |
| 177 - Content-Disposition |
| 178 - Content-Encoding |
| 179 - Content-Language |
| 180 - Content-MD5 |
| 181 - Content-Type |
| 182 - Any field starting with a matching Cloud Storage Provider |
| 183 prefix, such as x-goog-meta- (i.e., custom metadata). |
| 184 |
| 185 Header names are case-insensitive. |
| 186 |
| 187 x-goog-meta- fields can have data set to arbitrary Unicode values. All |
| 188 other fields must have ASCII values. |
| 189 |
| 190 |
| 191 <B>VIEWING CURRENTLY SET METADATA</B> |
| 192 You can see what metadata is currently set on an object by using: |
| 193 |
| 194 gsutil ls -L gs://the_bucket/the_object |
| 195 """) |
