Overview

Java SDK provides a pre-signed URL for obtaining a request and an API for generating a signature, which can be distributed to the client for download or upload. If your files have private read permissions, please note that the pre-signed URL is only valid for a certain period of time.

Obtaining a pre-signed URL used for request

Method prototype

public URL generatePresignedUrl(GeneratePresignedUrlRequest req) throws CosClientException

Parameter description

Request member description:

Example 1

Use a permanent key to generate a signed download link. The sample code is as follows:

// Initialize the permanent key
String secretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicCOSCredentials(secretId, secretKey);
Region region = new Region("COS_REGION");
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig(region);
// Generate a COS client.
COSClient cosClient = new COSClient(cred, clientConfig);
// Enter the bucket name in the format: BucketName-APPID.
String bucketName = "examplebucket-1250000000";
String key = "exampleobject";
GeneratePresignedUrlRequest req =
        new GeneratePresignedUrlRequest(bucketName, key, HttpMethodName.GET);
// Setting the signature expiration time (optional). If it is not set, the signature expiration time (1 hour) in ClientConfig is used by default.
// Setting the signature to expire in half an hour.
Date expirationDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 30L * 60L * 1000L);
req.setExpiration(expirationDate);
URL url = cosClient.generatePresignedUrl(req);
System.out.println(url.toString());
cosClient.shutdown();

Example 2

Use the temporary key to generate a signed download link and set it to overwrite some public headers to be returned (such as content-type, content-language). The sample code is as follows:

// Pass in the obtained temporary key (tmpSecretId, tmpSecretKey, sessionToken)
String tmpSecretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String tmpSecretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
String sessionToken = "COS_TOKEN";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicSessionCredentials(tmpSecretId, tmpSecretKey, sessionToken);
// Set the bucket region. For abbreviations of COS regions, see https://intl.cloud.tencent.com/document/product/436/6224?from_cn_redirect=1
// clientConfig contains the set methods to set region, HTTPS (HTTP by default), timeout, proxy, etc. For details, see the source code or the FAQs about Java SDK
Region region = new Region("COS_REGION");
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig(region);
// Generate a COS client
COSClient cosClient = new COSClient(cred, clientConfig);
// Enter the Bucket name in the format: BucketName-APPID 
String bucketName = "examplebucket-1250000000";
String key = "exampleobject";
GeneratePresignedUrlRequest req =
        new GeneratePresignedUrlRequest(bucketName, key, HttpMethodName.GET);
// Setting the http header returned during download
ResponseHeaderOverrides responseHeaders = new ResponseHeaderOverrides();
String responseContentType = "image/x-icon";
ResponseContentLanguage='string',
String responseContentDispositon = "filename=\"exampleobject\"";
String responseCacheControl = "no-cache";
String cacheExpireStr =
        DateUtils.formatRFC822Date(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 24L * 3600L * 1000L));
responseHeaders.setContentType(responseContentType);
responseHeaders.setContentLanguage(responseContentLanguage);
responseHeaders.setContentDisposition(responseContentDispositon);
responseHeaders.setCacheControl(responseCacheControl);
responseHeaders.setExpires(cacheExpireStr);
req.setResponseHeaders(responseHeaders);
// Setting the signature expiration time (optional). If it is not configured, the signature expiration time in ClientConfig (1 hour) is used by default.
// Setting the signature to expire in half an hour.
Date expirationDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 30L * 60L * 1000L);
req.setExpiration(expirationDate);
URL url = cosClient.generatePresignedUrl(req);
System.out.println(url.toString());
cosClient.shutdown();

Example 3

Generate a public read bucket (anonymous and readable) without a signed link. The sample code is as follows:

// To generate an anonymous request signature, you need to reinitialize an anonymous cosClient.
// Initialize user identity. SecretId, SecretKey and any other key information are not required for an anonymous user.
COSCredentials cred = new AnonymousCOSCredentials();
// Set the bucket region. For abbreviations of COS regions, see https://intl.cloud.tencent.com/document/product/436/6224?from_cn_redirect=1
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig(new Region("ap-beijing"));
// Generate a COS client
COSClient cosClient = new COSClient(cred, clientConfig);
// The bucket name must contain appid
String bucketName = "examplebucket-1250000000";

String key = "exampleobject";
GeneratePresignedUrlRequest req =
        new GeneratePresignedUrlRequest(bucketName, key, HttpMethodName.GET);
URL url = cosClient.generatePresignedUrl(req);
System.out.println(url.toString());
cosClient.shutdown();

Example 4

Generate pre-signed upload URLs that can be directly distributed to the client for file uploads. The sample code is as follows:

// Enter the bucket name in the format: BucketName-APPID.
String bucketName = "examplebucket-1250000000";
String key = "exampleobject";
// Setting the signature expiration time (optional). If it is not set, the signature expiration time in ClientConfig (1 hour) is used by default.
// Setting the signature to expire in half an hour.
Date expirationTime = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 30L * 60L * 1000L);
URL url = cosClient.generatePresignedUrl(bucketName, key, expirationTime, HttpMethodName.PUT);
System.out.println(url.toString());
cosClient.shutdown();

Generating a signature

COSSigner class provides methods for constructing COS signatures for distribution to mobile SDK for file upload and download. The path of the signature matches the key to be operated on after distribution.

Method prototype

// Constructing COS signature
public String buildAuthorizationStr(HttpMethodName methodName, String resouce_path,
        COSCredentials cred, Date expiredTime);

// Constructing COS signature
// Compared with first method, the second method provides additional signatures for some HTTP Headers and all parameters in the entered URL.
// It is used for more complicated signature control. The generated signature must also carry the corresponding header and param for upload and download operations.
public String buildAuthorizationStr(HttpMethodName methodName, String resouce_path,
        Map<String, String> headerMap, Map<String, String> paramMap, COSCredentials cred,
        Date expiredTime);

Parameter description

Return values

Signature string, the type is String.

Example 1: Generate an upload signature

String secretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicCOSCredentials(secretId, secretKey);
COSSigner signer = new COSSigner();
// Setting the expiration time to 1 hour
Date expiredTime = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 3600L * 1000L);
// For the key needing a signature, the generated signature can only be used for uploading the corresponding key.
String key = "exampleobject";
String sign = signer.buildAuthorizationStr(HttpMethodName.PUT, key, cred, expiredTime);

Example 2: Generate a download signature

String secretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicCOSCredentials(secretId, secretKey);
COSSigner signer = new COSSigner();
// Setting the expiration time to 1 hour
Date expiredTime = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 3600L * 1000L);
// For the key needing a signature, the generated signature can only be used for downloading the corresponding key.
String key = "exampleobject";
String sign = signer.buildAuthorizationStr(HttpMethodName.GET, key, cred, expiredTime);

Example 3: Generate a delete signature

String secretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicCOSCredentials(secretId, secretKey);
COSSigner signer = new COSSigner();
// Setting the expiration time to 1 hour
Date expiredTime = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 3600L * 1000L);
// For the key needing a signature, the generated signature can only be used for deleting the corresponding key.
String key = "exampleobject";
String sign = signer.buildAuthorizationStr(HttpMethodName.DELETE, key, cred, expiredTime);
