Object Storage Service:Download an object to memory (C SDK)

Notes

• In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, 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 Initialization.

Permissions

By default, an Alibaba Cloud account has full permissions. RAM users or RAM roles under an Alibaba Cloud account do not have any permissions by default. The Alibaba Cloud account or account administrator must grant operation permissions through RAM Policy or Bucket policies.

Sample code

The following code shows how to download a specified OSS object to memory:

#include "oss_api.h"
#include "aos_http_io.h"
/* Set yourEndpoint to the Endpoint of the region where the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the Endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
const char *endpoint = "yourEndpoint";

/* Specify the bucket name. Example: examplebucket. */
const char *bucket_name = "examplebucket";
/* Specify the full path of the object. The full path cannot contain the bucket name. Example: exampledir/exampleobject.txt. */
const char *object_name = "exampledir/exampleobject.txt";
/* Set yourRegion to the region where the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou. */
const char *region = "yourRegion";
void init_options(oss_request_options_t *options)
{
    options->config = oss_config_create(options->pool);
    /* Initialize the aos_string_t type with a char* string. */
    aos_str_set(&options->config->endpoint, endpoint);
    /* Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run this sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are set. */    
    aos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_id, getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"));
    aos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_secret, getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"));
    // Configure the following two parameters.
    aos_str_set(&options->config->region, region);
    options->config->signature_version = 4;
    /* Specifies whether a CNAME is used. 0 indicates that no CNAME is used. */

    char *buf = NULL;
    int64_t len = 0;
    int64_t size = 0;
    int64_t pos = 0;
    aos_str_set(&bucket, bucket_name);
    aos_str_set(&object, object_name);

        buf[len] = '\0';
        aos_list_for_each_entry(aos_buf_t, content, &buffer, node) {
        size = aos_buf_size(content);
            memcpy(buf + pos, content->pos, size);
            pos += size;
        }
    }
    else {
