DESCRIPTION

This module represents objects in buckets.

METHODS

etag

  # show the etag of an existing object (if fetched by listing
  # a bucket)
  print $object->etag . "\n";

delete

  # to delete an object
  $object->delete;

exists

  # to see if an object exists
  if ($object->exists) { ... }

get

  # to get the vaue of an object
  my $value = $object->get;

get_filename

  # download the value of the object into a file
  my $object = $bucket->object( key => 'images/my_hat.jpg' );
  $object->get_filename('hat_backup.jpg');

key

  # show the key
  print $object->key . "\n";

put

  # to create a new object
  my $object = $bucket->object( key => 'this is the key' );
  $object->put('this is the value');

  # to create a new object which is publically-accessible with a
  # content-type of text/plain
  my $object = $bucket->object(
    key          => 'this is the public key',
    acl_short    => 'public-read',
    content_type => 'text/plain',
  );
  $object->put('this is the public value');

You may also set Content-Encoding using content_encoding, and Content-Disposition using content_disposition.

put_filename

  # upload a file
  my $object = $bucket->object(
    key          => 'images/my_hat.jpg',
    content_type => 'image/jpeg',
  );
  $object->put_filename('hat.jpg');

  # upload a file if you already know its md5_hex and size
  my $object = $bucket->object(
    key          => 'images/my_hat.jpg',
    content_type => 'image/jpeg',
    etag         => $md5_hex,
    size         => $size,
  );
  $object->put_filename('hat.jpg');

You may also set Content-Encoding using content_encoding, and Content-Disposition using content_disposition.

query_string_authentication_uri

  # use query string authentication
  my $object = $bucket->object(
    key          => 'images/my_hat.jpg',
    expires      => '2009-03-01',
  );
  my $uri = $object->query_string_authentication_uri();

size

  # show the size of an existing object (if fetched by listing
  # a bucket)
  print $object->size . "\n";

uri

  # return the URI of a publically-accessible object
  my $uri = $object->uri;

initiate_multipart_upload

  #initiate a new multipart upload for this object
  my $object = $bucket->object(
    key         => 'massive_video.avi'
  );
  my $upload_id = $object->initiate_multipart_upload;

put_part

  #add a part to a multipart upload
  my $put_part_response = $object->put_part(
     upload_id      => $upload_id,
     part_number    => 1,
     value          => $chunk_content,
  );
  my $part_etag = $put_part_response->header('ETag')

  Returns an L<HTTP::Response> object. It is necessary to keep the ETags for
  each part, as these are required to complete the upload.

complete_multipart_upload

  #complete a multipart upload
  $object->complete_multipart_upload(
    upload_id       => $upload_id,
    etags           => [$etag_1, $etag_2],
    part_numbers    => [$part_number_1, $part_number2],
  );

  The etag and part_numbers parameters are ordered lists specifying the part
  numbers and ETags for each individual part of the multipart upload.
