What do I do if the client network is normal, while the access to COS over HTTP is very slow, or the error message "Connection reset" is reported?

In some regions, carriers may hijack COS endpoints. Therefore, you are advised to access COS over HTTPS.

What do I do if java.lang.NoSuchMethodError is reported when I run the SDK?

This is usually caused by a JAR package conflict. For example, if the JAR package the SDK depends on uses method A, but the JAR package in the HttpClient library in your project does not have method A, then, the HttpClient library in your project will be loaded due to the runtime load order, throwing NoSuchMethodError.
Solutions:
Solution 1: change the version of the package in your project that has caused NoSuchMethodError to the version of the corresponding library in pom.xml in the SDK.
Solution 2: replace cos-java-sdk with cos_api-bundle. In this case, all dependencies of cos-java-sdk are installed independently and thus more space will be used.

<groupId>com.qcloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>cos_api-bundle</artifactId>
<version>5.6.35</version>

What is the default timeout period of the Java SDK?

The default connection timeout period of the Java SDK is 45,000 ms, and the default read/write timeout period is 45,000 ms. You can use the SetConnectionTimeoutMs and SetReadWriteTimeoutMs methods in the SDK to adjust them.

What do I do if the upload with the Java SDK is slow and IOException is frequently printed in the log?

Troubleshoot the problem as follows:

1. Check whether you are accessing COS through a public network. Currently, CVM instances that are in the same region as COS can access COS through a private network (the IP ranges resolved by the private endpoint are 10, 100, and 169). For more information about COS endpoints, please see Regions and Access Endpoints. If a public network is used, check whether the egress bandwidth is too small or whether bandwidth resources are occupied by other programs.
2. Check that the logs in the production environment are not set to DEBUG level. The INFO level is recommended.
3. Currently, the simple upload speed is up to 10 MB/s, and the speed of 32 concurrent uploads using advanced APIs can reach 60 MB/s. If the speed is far lower than these two values, see steps 1 and 2.
4. If IOException is printed in the WARN level logs, it can be ignored, and the SDK will retry. IOException may be caused by a slow network connection. For the solutions, see steps 1 and 2.

What do I do if there is a plus sign (+) in the requested upload path, throwing "403 SignatureDoesNotMatch"?

Possible cause: The version of HttpClient in the Java environment leads to the URLEncode error.
You can troubleshoot using either of the following ways:
Solution 1: Use the 4.5.3 version of HttpClient.

<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
      <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.5.3</version> 

Solution 2: replace cos-java-sdk with cos_api-bundle. In this case, all dependencies of cos-java-sdk are installed independently and thus more space will be used.

<groupId>com.qcloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>cos_api-bundle</artifactId>
<version>5.6.35</version>

What should I do if the Java SDK reports an error indicating that a certain dependency version is too low?

Cause: the dependency version of your Java environment conflicts with that required by the Java SDK.
Solutions:
Solution 1: upgrade the dependency to the required version as prompted.
Solution 2: replace cos-java-sdk with cos_api-bundle. In this case, all dependencies of cos-java-sdk are installed independently and thus more space will be used.

<groupId>com.qcloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>cos_api-bundle</artifactId>
<version>5.6.35</version>

How do I create a directory in the SDK?

In COS, both files and directories are objects, where directories are objects that end with /. When creating a file, you don't need to create a directory. For example, when you create a file with the object key of xxx/yyy/zzz.txt, set the key to xxx/yyy/zzz.txt instead of creating the object xxx/yyy/. Directories are separated by / to show the hierarchy when displayed in the console. To create a directory object, use the following sample code:

String bucketName = "examplebucket-1250000000";
String key = "folder/images/";
// A directory object is an empty file that ends with /, where a byte stream with a length of 0 is uploaded
InputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(new byte[0]);
ObjectMetadata objectMetadata = new ObjectMetadata();
objectMetadata.setContentLength(0);
PutObjectRequest putObjectRequest =
new PutObjectRequest(bucketName, key, input, objectMetadata);
PutObjectResult putObjectResult = cosClient.putObject(putObjectRequest);

How do I use HTTPS in the SDK?

In the SDK, relevant configuration items are put in the ClientConfig class. Below is the sample code:

// Initialize user authentication information (`secretId` and `secretKey`).
String secretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicCOSCredentials(secretId, secretKey);
// Set the bucket region. For abbreviations of COS regions, please visit https://intl.cloud.tencent.com/document/product/436/6224.
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig(new Region("ap-beijing-1"));
// Configure HTTPS.
clientConfig.setHttpProtocol(HttpProtocol.https);
// Generate a COS client.
COSClient cosClient = new COSClient(cred, clientConfig);

How do I use a proxy in the SDK?

If you need to use a proxy to access COS, you can configure a proxy IP (or an endpoint) and port in the ClientConfig class. Below is the sample code:

// Initialize user authentication information (`secretId` and `secretKey`).
String secretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicCOSCredentials(secretId, secretKey);
// Set the bucket region. For abbreviations of COS regions, please visit https://intl.cloud.tencent.com/document/product/436/6224.
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig(new Region("ap-beijing-1"));
// Configure a proxy (both the IP and port need to be set).
// Set the proxy IP (or pass an endpoint).
clientConfig.setHttpProxyIp("192.168.2.3");
// Set the proxy port.
clientConfig.setHttpProxyPort(8080);
// Generate a COS client.
COSClient cosClient = new COSClient(cred, clientConfig);

How do I set up custom EndpointBuilder?

In scenarios where the endpoint needs to be specified for an API request, you need to implement the buildGeneralApiEndpoint and buildGetServiceApiEndpoint functions in the EndpointBuilder API to specify the remote endpoints for a general API request and GETService request, respectively. Below is the sample code:

// Step 1. Implement the two functions in the EndpointBuilder API.
class SelfDefinedEndpointBuilder implements EndpointBuilder {
   @Override
   public String buildGeneralApiEndpoint(String bucketName) {
       return String.format("%s.%s", bucketName, "mytest.com");
   }
    @Override
   public String buildGetServiceApiEndpoint() {
       return "service.mytest.com";
   }
}
// Step 2. Initialize the client.
String secretId = "COS_SECRETID";
String secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY";
COSCredentials cred = new BasicCOSCredentials(secretId, secretKey);
SelfDefinedEndpointBuilder selfDefinedEndpointBuilder = new SelfDefinedEndpointBuilder();
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig(new Region("ap-beijing"));
clientConfig .setEndpointBuilder(selfDefinedEndpointBuilder);
COSClient cosClient = new COSClient(cred, clientConfig);

Do I need to add the / prefix to key values used in SDK operations such as upload, download, and batch delete?

The key value does not need to be prefixed with / for COS objects. For example, if you set the key value of a COS object to exampleobject, you can access it using the http://cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/exampleobject URL.

Note：

Do not pass in a key prefixed with / in a batch delete request. Otherwise, the object deletion may fail.

What do I do if the error message "please make sure bucket name must contain legal appid when appid is missing. example: bucektname-1250000000" is reported when I use the Java SDK to upload files?

COS Java SDK of an earlier version supports only app IDs starting with, for example, 125. If you are using an app ID starting with 130, it is recommended that you update the SDK to the latest version. For more information on how to download and install the Java SDK, see Java SDK documentation.

What do I do if the COS Java SDK reports an error when I upload large files?

To upload files larger than 5 GB using the Java SDK, you are advised to use the advanced upload API. The advanced upload API automatically determines whether to use simple or multipart upload based on the length and data type of your file.

How do I obtain the file upload progress in the Java SDK?

To obtain the file upload progress, you are advised to use the advanced upload API. You can use the getProgress() method of Upload to obtain the TransferProgress class.

Does Java SDK support CRC64 calculation for local files?

The COS Java SDK itself does not support CRC64 calculation for local files, and you need to implement the feature at the service side. You can refer to Java issues.

Can Java SDK use persistent connections?

The Java SDK uses persistent connections by default.

How do I use the Java SDK to get all the paths to the specified directory and determine whether the paths are files or folders?

You can use the feature of querying the object list in the Java SDK to list all objects in a bucket. You can use the prefix parameter to specify the directory prefix.
