Object Storage Service:Form upload

Last Updated:Dec 06, 2023

You can use an HTML form to upload an object whose size is up to 5 GB to a bucket. This upload method is called form upload. This topic describes how to perform form upload in Object Storage Service (OSS).

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access 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 and endpoints.

  • 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 form upload, you must have the oss:PutObject permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Examples

The following sample code provides an example on how to perform form upload:

import com.aliyun.oss.common.utils.BinaryUtil;
import com.aliyun.oss.internal.OSSUtils;
import com.aliyun.oss.model.Callback;
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

import javax.activation.MimetypesFileTypeMap;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import com.aliyun.oss.ClientException;

public class PostObjectSample {
    // Specify the full path of the local file that you want to upload. 
    private String localFilePath = "yourLocalFile";
    // In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
    private String endpoint = "http://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
    // The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in OSS is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. 
    String accessKeyId = System.getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
    String accessKeySecret = System.getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
    // Specify the name of the bucket. 
    private String bucketName = "yourBucketName";
    // Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. 
    private String objectName = "yourObjectName";
    // Specify the URL of the server to which you want to send the callback request. Example: http://oss-demo.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com:23450 or http://127.0.0.1:9090.

        // Specify the Host header in the callback request. Example: oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com.

        // callback.setCallbackBody("{\\\"mimeType\\\":${mimeType},\\\"size\\\":${size}}");
        // Specify Content-Type in the callback request. 
        // callback.setCalbackBodyType(Callback.CalbackBodyType.JSON);

        // callback.addCallbackVar("x:var1", "value1");
        // callback.addCallbackVar("x:var2", "value2");
        // Specify the callback parameter in Map for the form. 
        // setCallBack(formFields, callback);
        // Specify OSSAccessKeyId.
