The GoogleStorage control implements the Google Storage for Developers API.

Syntax

GoogleStorage

Remarks

GoogleStorage allows you to easily manage storing and retrieving files using the Google Storage for Developers service.

Before using the control you must have a valid Google Storage account.

Authentication

This control requires authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth property to set the appropriate fields for the chosen OAuthClientProfile and OAuthGrantType.

The control has the following defaults:

Below is a brief description of the different OAuthClientProfile and OAuthGrantType values that are supported by this control. For a more in-depth description of what needs to be set, refer to the service documentation.

Application Profile

This profile encompasses the most basic grant types that OAuth supports. When this profile is set, all the requests and response handling is done by the control. Depending on the grant type, this may involve launching a browser so a user can login to authenticate with a authorization server. It may also involve starting an embedded web server to receive a response from a redirect.

To start the authentication and authorization process, the Authorize method should be called. If the authorization and authentication was successful, then the OAuthAccessToken property will be populated. Additionally, if a refresh token was provided the OAuthRefreshToken property will be populated as well. These values of the fields are for informational purposes. The control will also cache these tokens along with when the OAuthAccessToken will be expired. When a method that makes requests to the service provider is called or the Authorize method is called the control will automatically check to see if the access token is expired. If it is, it will then automatically try to get a new OAuthAccessToken. If the Authorize method was not used and user interaction would be required, the control will throw an error which can be caught. When user interaction is needed depends on what grant type is set in the OAuthGrantType property. To force the component to only check the access token when the Authorize method is called, the OAuthAutomaticRefresh configuration setting can be set to false.

A brief description of the supported values for the OAuthGrantType property are below. For more information, see the service documentation.

Authorization Code

When using the Authorization Code grant type, the control will use an authorization code to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the control expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, OAuthServerAuthURL, and OAuthServerTokenURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the control will parse the authorization code, setting the OAuthAuthorizationCode property, from the redirect. Immediately, the control will make a request to the token server to exchange the authorization code for an access token. The token server will return an access token and possibly a refresh token. If the OAuthRefreshToken property is set, or a refresh token is cached, then the control will not launch the browser and use the refresh token in its request to the token server instead of an authorization code.

Example: GoogleStorage googlestorage = new GoogleStorage(); googlestorage.OAuth.ClientProfile = CloudOAuthClientProfiles.cocpApplication; googlestorage.OAuth.GrantType = OAuthSettingsGrantTypes.cogtAuthorizationCode; googlestorage.OAuth.ClientId = CLIENT_ID; googlestorage.OAuth.ClientSecret = CLIENT_SECRET; googlestorage.Authorize();

Implicit

Note: This grant type is considered insecure and should only be used when necessary.

When using the Implicit grant type, the control will request the authorization server to get an access token. For this OAuthGrantType the control expects a OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and OAuthServerAuthURL to be set. When the Authorize method is called, the component will start the embedded web server and launch the browser so the user can authorize the application. Once the user authorizes, the service provider will redirect them to the embedded web server and the control will parse the access token from the redirect.

A disadvantage of the grant type is that can not use a refresh token to silently get a new access token. Most service providers offer a way to silently get a new access token. See the service documentation for specifics. This means the control will not be able to automatically get a fresh token once it expires.

Web Profile

External OAuth Support

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE

Assign this value to the Authorization property before attempting any operations. Setting the Authorization property will cause the control to ignore the values set in the OAuth property.

For Example: Oauth oauth = new Oauth(); oauth.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"; oauth.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET"; oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"; oauth.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"; oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"; oauth.GrantType = OauthGrantTypes.ogtAuthorizationCode; googlestorage.Authorization = oauth.GetAuthorization(); Consult the documentation for the service for more information about supported scope values and more details on OAuth authentication.

Once you have a valid Google Storage account you can start creating buckets in your account using CreateBucket. The buckets are place holders for your objects allowing you to access them by http URLs. You can then add objects to any of your buckets using CreateObject.

There are other methods such as ListBuckets, ListObjects, GetObject, DeleteObject etc. that further enable you to manage your Google Storage data store.

When authenticating via OAuth the ProjectId property is also required.

Alternatively, this service also supports authenticating by setting the AccessKey and SecretKey configuration settings.

googlestoragecontrol.SSLServerCertVersion

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3".

This property is read-only.

Data Type

String

SSLServerCertSubject Property (GoogleStorage Control)

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.SSLServerCertSubject

Default Value

""

Remarks

The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

String

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (GoogleStorage Control)

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.SSLServerCertEncoded

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLServerCertStore and SSLServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

To read or write binary data to the property, a Variant (Byte Array) version is provided in .SSLServerCertEncodedB.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Binary String

StartByte Property (GoogleStorage Control)

The byte offset from which to resume the download.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.StartByte[=long64]

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the byte offset from which to resume a download initiated by GetObject; refer to its documentation for more information.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Long64

Timeout Property (GoogleStorage Control)

The timeout for the control.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.Timeout[=integer]

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the control will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The control will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the control fails with an error.

Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

UseSSL Property (GoogleStorage Control)

Whether to use SSL/TLS when connecting.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.UseSSL[=boolean]

Default Value

True

Remarks

This property specifies whether the control should use SSL/TLS when connecting.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean

UseVirtualHosting Property (GoogleStorage Control)

Determines which style request to use.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.UseVirtualHosting[=boolean]

Default Value

True

Remarks

If set to (default), buckets will be referenced in the request using the hosted-style request: http://yourbucket.storage.googleapis.com/yourobject. If , the control will use the path-style request: http://storage.googleapis.com/yourbucket/yourobject.

NOTE: When set to , there are more limitations when choosing a bucket name due to DNS server naming restrictions. See Google's documentation for more detailed naming information.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean

VersionId Property (GoogleStorage Control)

The object version to make requests against.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.VersionId[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property can be set to the Id of a specific object version before calling the following methods in order to make requests against the specified object version instead of the base object; refer to each one's documentation for more information:

• CopyObject (to copy from a specific object version)
• DeleteObject
• GetLink (to build a link for a specific object version)
• GetObject
• GetObjectInfo
• SendCustomRequest
• UpdateObjectACL

Refer to Amazon's Versioning documentation for more information about versioning.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

VersionMarker Property (GoogleStorage Control)

A marker indicating what page of object versions to return next.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.VersionMarker[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property will be populated when ListVersions is called if the results are paged and there are more pages. To list all object versions, continue to call ListVersions until this property returns empty string.

Refer to ListVersions for more information.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AbortMultipartUpload Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Aborts a multipart upload.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.AbortMultipartUpload ObjectName, UploadId

Remarks

This method aborts the multipart upload of the object named ObjectName specified by UploadId.

When this method is called, all parts that have been uploaded for the multipart upload are deleted from the server. (Note that if any part uploads are currently in progress, it may be necessary to call this method again after they complete.)

If this method is called successfully, the specified UploadId will no longer be valid.

AddMetadata Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Adds a metadata item to the Metadata properties.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.AddMetadata Name, Value

Remarks

This method adds a metadata item to the Metadata properties. Name specifies the name of the item, and Value specifies the value of the item. Keep in mind that the server stores metadata names in lowercase.

If Name begins with a service-specific metadata (e.g., x-amz-meta-, x-goog-meta-, etc.), it will be stripped off. The control will take care of prepending it when sending metadata to the server.

AddQueryParam Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Adds a query parameter to the QueryParams properties.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.AddQueryParam Name, Value

Remarks

This method is used to add a query parameter to the QueryParams properties. Name specifies the name of the parameter, and Value specifies the value of the parameter.

All specified Values will be URL encoded by the control automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.

Authorize Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Get the authorization string required to access the protected resource.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.Authorize 

Remarks

This method is used to get an access token that is required to access the protected resource. The method will act differently based on what is set in the OAuthClientProfile property and the OAuthGrantType property. This method is not to be used in conjunction with the Authorization property. It should instead be used when setting the OAuth property.

For more information, see the introduction section.

BucketExists Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Checks whether the bucket exists.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.BucketExists 

Remarks

This method checks whether the bucket specified by Bucket exists, returning if so or if not.

CalcAuthorization Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Calculates the Authorization header based on provided credentials.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.CalcAuthorization 

Remarks

This method calculates the Authorization value using the values provided in AuthScheme, User and Password.

In most cases this method does not need to be called. The control will automatically calculate any required authorization values when a method is called such as Get or Post.

This method may be useful in cases where the Authorization value needs to be calculated prior to sending a request.

CheckVersioningEnabled Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Checks whether versioning is enabled for the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.CheckVersioningEnabled 

Remarks

This method can be used to check whether the bucket currently selected by Bucket has versioning enabled.

Note that if Bucket is empty, or refers to a bucket that does not exist, this method will always return when queried.

Refer to Amazon's Versioning documentation for more information about versioning.

CompleteMultipartUpload Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Completes a multipart upload by assembling previously uploaded parts.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.CompleteMultipartUpload ObjectName, UploadId

Remarks

This method completes the multipart upload specified by UploadId. The server will assemble all of the parts that have been uploaded into an object named ObjectName.

Note that this method automatically calls ListParts internally to obtain the information needed to complete the multipart upload. This process does not alter the Parts properties, nor does it cause the PartList event to fire.

ComposeObjects Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Creates a composed object using multiple objects already on the server.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.ComposeObjects ComposedObjectName

Remarks

This method is used to compose objects on the server. Object composition is a server-side method of building an object by concatenating multiple existing objects together. This feature is a simpler alternative to the typical multipart-upload method of building objects.

A composed object looks and acts just like a regular object. However, its data is determined by its component objects (that is, the objects that make it up) and the order in which they are composed together.

To use this method, specify the names of the objects that should be composed together using the Objects property. When this method is called, the ComposedObjectName parameter determines what name is given to the resulting composed object. See the following code snippet for examples: // Upload some objects to start with. Let's assume we have some text files to upload. for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) { gstorage.LocalFile = "file" + i + ".txt"; gstorage.CreateObject("file" + i + ".txt"); } // Compose a new object. SetObjectNames("file1.txt", "file2.txt", "file3.txt"); gstorage.ComposeObjects("composed1.txt"); // Compose a new object using a composed object. SetObjectNames("file1.txt", "composed1.txt"); gstorage.ComposeObjects("composed2.txt"); // Compose onto an existing composed object. // (Similar to appending, but all server-side, no uploading needed.) SetObjectNames("file1.txt", "file2.txt"); gstorage.ComposeObjects("composed3.txt"); SetObjectNames("composed3.txt", "file3.txt"); gstorage.ComposeObjects("composed3.txt"); // Compose a new object using the same object twice. SetObjectNames("file1.txt", "file1.txt"); gstorage.ComposeObjects("composed4.txt"); // Compose a composed object onto itself. SetObjectNames("composed4.txt", "composed4.txt"); gstorage.ComposeObjects("composed4.txt"); Assume we have this helper method for the above code: void SetObjectNames(params string[] names) { gstorage.Objects.Clear(); foreach (string name in names) gstorage.Objects.Add(new S3Object(name, "", 0, "", "", "", "", "")); }

Object composition is a powerful and flexible feature. However, there are some things to keep in mind when doing object composition:

• The order of the object names in the Objects property is the order that they will be concatenated in when they are composed.
• Objects from multiple buckets cannot be composed together.
• No more than 32 object names may be specified in a single compose request.

Config Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

CopyObject Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Copies an object.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.CopyObject SrcObjectName, DestBucket, DestObjectName

Remarks

This method copies the object specified by SrcObjectName (in the bucket currently selected by Bucket) to the object specified by DestObjectName in DestBucket. If DestBucket is empty, the bucket specified by Bucket is used as the destination bucket.

If the VersionId property is non-empty, the specified version of the source object will be used as the copy source. In this case, DestObjectName may be the same as SrcObjectName to "promote" the version, copying its contents back to the base object.

If there are any metadata items present in the Metadata properties, they will set on the destination object; otherwise, the server will copy any metadata items present on the source object to the destination object.

CreateBucket Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Creates a new bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.CreateBucket 

Remarks

This method creates a new bucket using the name specified by the Bucket property. The bucket is created in the region specified by the Region property.

CreateObject Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Creates a new object in the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.CreateObject ObjectName

Remarks

This method creates a new object named Object in the bucket currently selected by Bucket. If there are any metadata items present in the Metadata properties, they will included in the creation request.

If LocalFile is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If LocalFile is not set the data in ObjectData will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword.

This method can automatically handle the multipart upload of objects (See Below). If it is desired to manually take control of the multipart upload process see StartMultipartUpload.

Automatic Multipart Uploads

If more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of data are provided, the control will automatically perform a multipart upload by splitting the data up into parts (sized according to the FragmentSize configuration setting) and uploading them individually. To accomplish this, the control automatically makes calls to StartMultipartUpload, UploadPart, and CompleteMultipartUpload internally; tracks upload state information using the ResumableUploadState configuration setting; and tracks how much data has been uploaded using the StartByte property. The FragmentComplete event will fire after each part is uploaded.

If, during an automatic multipart upload, any individual request fails, the upload can be resumed be calling this method again with the same parameters, so long as ResumableUploadState and StartByte contain the same values as they did when the upload was interrupted.

When an automatic multipart upload completes successfully, ResumableUploadState is cleared and StartByte is reset to 0.

DeleteBucket Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Deletes a bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.DeleteBucket 

Remarks

This method deletes the bucket currently selected by Bucket. Note that bucket names share a global namespace, and it may not be possible to recreate a deleted bucket if its name has been taken by another user in the meantime.

DeleteObject Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Deletes an object.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.DeleteObject ObjectName

Remarks

This method deletes the object specified by ObjectName in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

If the VersionId property is non-empty, this method deletes the specified version of the object instead. Note that deleting the latest version of an object will not automatically "restore" the previous version.

DisableVersioning Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Disables versioning for the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.DisableVersioning 

Remarks

This method can be used to disable versioning for the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Refer to Amazon's Versioning documentation for more information about versioning.

DoEvents Method (GoogleStorage Control)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.DoEvents 

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the control processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

EnableVersioning Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Enables versioning for the currently selected bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.EnableVersioning 

Remarks

This method can be used to enable versioning for the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Refer to Amazon's Versioning documentation for more information about versioning.

GetBucketLocation Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Gets a bucket's location.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.GetBucketLocation 

Remarks

This method retrieves and returns the location (i.e., region) of the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

GetObject Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Downloads an object.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.GetObject ObjectName

Remarks

This methods downloads the object specified by ObjectName in the bucket currently selected by Bucket. If the VersionId property is non-empty, the specified version of the object is downloaded instead. The Range property can be used to download a specific range of bytes from the object.

If LocalFile is set, the object data will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the object data will be held by ObjectData.

To download and decrypt an encrypted object, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading an object looks like this: s3.LocalFile = "../MyData.zip"; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name);

Resuming Downloads

The control also supports resuming failed downloads by using the StartByte property. If a download is interrupted, set StartByte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download. string downloadFile = "../MyData.zip"; s3.LocalFile = downloadFile; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name); //The transfer is interrupted and GetObject() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded file s3.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when LocalFile was set in the initial download attempt.

If LocalFile is set when beginning an encrypted download, the control creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with StartByte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to LocalFile. s3.LocalFile = "../MyData.zip"; s3.EncryptionPassword = "password"; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name); //The transfer is interrupted and GetObject() above fails. Later, resume the download: //Get the size of the partially downloaded temp file s3.StartByte = new FileInfo(s3.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length; s3.GetObject(s3.Objects[0].Name);

GetObjectInfo Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Gets an object's information and metadata.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.GetObjectInfo ObjectName

Remarks

This method gets information and metadata for the object specified by Object in the bucket currently selected by Bucket. If the VersionId property is non-empty, information and metadata for the specified version of the object is retrieved instead.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList and MetadataList events, and will re-populate the Objects and Metadata collection properties.

Interrupt Method (GoogleStorage Control)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.Interrupt 

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

ListBuckets Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Lists all buckets in the account.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.ListBuckets 

Remarks

This method lists all buckets in the account.

Calling this method will fire the BucketList event once for each bucket, and will also populate the Buckets properties.

ListMultipartUploads Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Lists the current multipart uploads.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.ListMultipartUploads 

Remarks

This method lists the current multipart uploads in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Before calling this method, the ObjectPrefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the multipart uploads whose names begin with a given string. The ObjectDelimiter property can also be used to further tune the results returned. The MaxObjects configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList event once for each multipart upload, and will also populate the Objects properties.

If there are still more multipart uploads available to list when this method returns, the ObjectMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ObjectMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Objects properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the Objects properties every time a page of results is returned.

ListObjects Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Lists the objects in a bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.ListObjects 

Remarks

This method lists the objects in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Before calling this method, the ObjectPrefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the objects whose names begin with a given string. The ObjectDelimiter property can also be used to further tune the results returned. The MaxObjects configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList event once for each object, and will also populate the Objects properties. It may also fire the PrefixList event, and populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] configuration settings, depending on how the properties discussed above are set.

If there are still more objects available to list when this method returns, the ObjectMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ObjectMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Objects properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the Objects properties every time a page of results is returned.

Object Hierarchy Traversal

By using the ObjectDelimiter and ObjectPrefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of objects (or object versions) as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that objects with the following names exist within a bucket:

• MyCompany/
• MyCompany/Department1/
• MyCompany/Department2/
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With ObjectDelimiter set to /, we can set ObjectPrefix to successively "deeper" values before calling ListObjects or ListVersions for the following effect:

ListParts Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Lists the parts in a multipart upload.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.ListParts ObjectName, UploadId

Remarks

This method lists the parts in the multipart upload of ObjectName specified by UploadId. The MaxParts configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the PartList event once for each part, and will also populate the Parts properties.

If there are still more parts available to list when this method returns, the PartMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until PartMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Parts properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the Parts properties every time a page of results is returned.

Note that this method does not need to be called before attempting to complete a multipart upload with CompleteMultipartUpload; the control will automatically collect the necessary information internally. Refer to CompleteMultipartUpload for more information.

ListVersions Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Lists the object versions in a bucket.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.ListVersions 

Remarks

This method lists the object versions in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

Before calling this method, the ObjectPrefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the object versions whose names begin with a given string. The ObjectDelimiter property can also be used to further tune the results returned. The MaxObjects configuration setting may be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the ObjectList event once for each object version, and will also populate the Objects properties. It may also fire the PrefixList event, and populate the PrefixCount and Prefix[i] configuration settings, depending on how the properties discussed above are set.

If there are still more object versions available to list when this method returns, the VersionMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until VersionMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Objects properties. Alternatively, the AccumulatePages configuration setting can be disabled to clear the Objects properties every time a page of results is returned.

Object Hierarchy Traversal

By using the ObjectDelimiter and ObjectPrefix properties in tandem, applications can effectively "traverse" a virtual hierarchy of objects (or object versions) as if it were a filesystem. For example, assume that objects with the following names exist within a bucket:

• MyCompany/
• MyCompany/Department1/
• MyCompany/Department2/
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeA
• MyCompany/Department2/EmployeeB

With ObjectDelimiter set to /, we can set ObjectPrefix to successively "deeper" values before calling ListObjects or ListVersions for the following effect:

Reset Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Resets the control to its initial state.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.Reset 

Remarks

This method resets the control to its initial state.

ResetHeaders Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Resets all HTTP headers, cookies, and LocalFile.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.ResetHeaders 

Remarks

Resets all the HTTP headers as well as LocalFile to "" (empty string), and clears the Metadata and QueryParams collection properties.

Call this method before creating a new request, so that headers and query parameters from the previous request are not carried over to the next one.

SendCustomRequest Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Sends a custom request to the server.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.SendCustomRequest HttpMethod, ObjectName, RequestBody

Remarks

This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the server.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

• GET (default if empty)
• HEAD
• POST
• PUT
• DELETE

The ObjectName and RequestBody parameters may be empty if not needed.

Usage

When this method is called, the control does the following:

1. Builds a request URL, including query parameters, based on the following:
   • UseSSL, Region, and UseVirtualHosting for the base URL.
     • Alternatively, if a custom URL has been specified using the URL configuration setting, it is used directly, and these properties are ignored.
   • Bucket (if non-empty)
   • ObjectName (if non-empty)
   • VersionId (if both it and ObjectName are non-empty)
   • QueryParams
2. Adds request headers from:
   • ContentDisposition
   • ContentType
   • OtherHeaders
   • ProductToken
   • SessionToken
   • UserToken
3. Signs the request (unless the SignCustomRequest configuration setting is disabled).
4. Sends the request, including RequestBody if non-empty.
5. Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeaders properties; and the response body in the specified LocalFile, or ObjectData (using the same logic as GetObject).

If the response body is XML data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.

StartMultipartUpload Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Starts a new manual multipart upload.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.StartMultipartUpload ObjectName

Remarks

This method starts a new "manual" multipart upload for an object named ObjectName, in the bucket currently selected by Bucket, and returns the upload Id that the server associates with it. For an "automatic" multipart upload see the CreateObject method. This upload Id can then be used to call the following methods:

• UploadPart
• ListParts
• CompleteMultipartUpload
• AbortMultipartUpload

If there are any metadata items present in the Metadata properties, they will be included in the creation request, and will be applied to the final object after the multipart upload is completed with CompleteMultipartUpload.

Multipart uploads never expire, they must be explicitly completed or aborted using CompleteMultipartUpload or AbortMultipartUpload. The ListMultipartUploads method can be used to retrieve a list of current multipart uploads.

UpdateBucketACL Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Updates a bucket's canned access policy.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.UpdateBucketACL 

Remarks

This method updates the canned access policy of the bucket selected by Bucket to the value specified by AccessPolicy

UpdateObjectACL Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Updates an object's canned access policy.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.UpdateObjectACL ObjectName

Remarks

This method updates the caned access policy of the objects specified by ObjectName, in the bucket currently selected by Bucket, to the value specified by AccessPolicy.

If the VersionId property is non-empty, the canned access policy of the specified version of the object is updated instead.

UploadPart Method (GoogleStorage Control)

Uploads a multipart upload part.

Syntax

googlestoragecontrol.UploadPart ObjectName, PartNumber, UploadId

Remarks

This method uploads a part for the multipart upload of the object named ObjectName specified by UploadId.

PartNumber specifies the part's number; it must be a value in the range 1 to 10000, inclusive. If a part with the given number already exists in the specified multipart upload, it is replaced with the newly-uploaded part.

The data to upload is taken from either LocalFile or ObjectData (whichever data is found in first, when checked in that order). Each part must be at least 5MB in size, except for the last part in the overall multipart upload, which can be any non-zero size.

If the IncludePartMD5 configuration setting is , the control will include an MD5 digest of its data when sending it to the server. The server will then verify that the data was received without corruption.

BucketList Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fires once for each bucket returned when listing buckets.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_BucketList(BucketName As String, CreationDate As String, OwnerId As String, OwnerName As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each bucket returned when ListBuckets is called.

BucketName reflects the name of the bucket.

CreationDate reflects the bucket's creation date.

OwnerId and OwnerName reflect the Id and display name of the bucket's owner, respectively.

EndTransfer Event (GoogleStorage Control)

This event fires when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_EndTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The EndTransfer event is fired when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

FragmentComplete Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fires after each part in an automatic multipart upload is complete.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_FragmentComplete(FragmentNumber As Integer, FragmentCount As Integer, Interrupt As Boolean)

Remarks

If, when CreateObject is called, more than SimpleUploadLimit bytes of upload data are present, the control will automatically split the upload data up into parts and perform a multipart upload. During the overall upload process, this event will fire after each part is uploaded, providing an indication of overall upload progress.

FragmentNumber is the number of the current part that has completed. This value starts at 1.

FragmentCount is the total number of parts that will be uploaded.

Interrupt can be set to to interrupt the upload. The upload may be resumed later.

Refer to CreateObject for more information.

Header Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fired every time a header line comes in.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

Log Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_Log(LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

MetadataList Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fires once for each metadata item returned when object information and metadata is retrieved.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_MetadataList(Name As String, Value As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each metadata item returned when GetObjectInfo is called.

Name is the name of the metadata item, without the service-specific prefix (e.g., x-amz-meta-, x-goog-meta-, etc.). Keep in mind that the server stores metadata names in lowercase.

Value is the metadata item's value.

ObjectList Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fires once for each object, object version, or multipart upload returned when listing such items.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_ObjectList(BucketName As String, ObjectName As String, LastModified As String, Size As Long64, ETag As String, OwnerId As String, OwnerName As String, UploadId As String, VersionId As String, LatestVersion As Boolean, Deleted As Boolean)

Remarks

This event fires once for each object, or object version, returned when GetObjectInfo, ListObjects, or ListVersions is called.

BucketName reflects the name of the bucket that the object is in.

ObjectName reflects the name of the object.

LastModified reflects the last modified time of the object.

Size reflects the size, in bytes, of the object.

ETag reflects the object's ETag.

OwnerId and OwnerName reflect the Id and display name of the object's owner, respectively. Not applicable when GetObjectInfo is called.

VersionId reflects the Id of the object version (note that the string null is a valid version Id). Only applicable when ListVersions is called, or when GetObjectInfo is called while VersionId is non-empty; empty in all other cases.

LatestVersion indicates whether this is the latest object version. Only applicable when ListVersions is called; in all other cases.

Deleted indicates whether this object version was deleted or overwritten. Only applicable when ListVersions is called; in all other cases.

PartList Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fires once for every part returned when listing a multipart upload's parts.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_PartList(PartNumber As Integer, ObjectName As String, LastModified As String, Size As Long64, ETag As String, OwnerId As String, OwnerName As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each multipart upload part returned when ListParts is called.

PartNumber reflects the part's number.

ObjectName reflects the name of the object the multipart upload is for.

LastModified reflects the last modified time of the part.

Size reflects the size, in bytes, of the part.

ETag reflects the part's ETag of the part.

OwnerId and OwnerName reflect the Id and display name of the part's owner, respectively.

PrefixList Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fires once for each common prefix returned when listing objects.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_PrefixList(BucketName As String, Prefix As String)

Remarks

This event fires once for each common prefix returned when ListObjects or ListVersions is called when ObjectDelimiter is non-empty. Refer to ObjectDelimiter for more information.

BucketName reflects the name of the bucket that the prefix is in.

Prefix is the common prefix.

Progress Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_Progress(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, TotalBytes As Long64, PercentDone As Integer)

Remarks

This event fires during an upload or download to indicate the progress of the transfer of the entire request. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by one percent; the ProgressStep configuration setting can be used to alter this behavior.

Direction indicates whether the transfer is an upload (0) or a download (1).

BytesTransferred reflects the number of bytes that have been transferred so far, or 0 if the transfer is starting (however, see note below).

TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown. This amount includes the size of everything in the request like HTTP headers.

PercentDone reflects the overall progress of the transfer, or -1 if the progress cannot be calculated.

Note: By default, the control tracks transfer progress absolutely. If a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by this event upon and after resumption will account for the data that was transferred before the interruption.

For example, if 10MB of data was successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then continue to fire with successively greater values as usual.

This behavior can be changed by disabling the ProgressAbsolute configuration setting, in which case the control will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers. In this case, the BytesTransferred parameter will always be 0 the first time this event fires, regardless of whether the transfer is new or being resumed.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (GoogleStorage Control)

This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

The StartTransfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Transfer Event (GoogleStorage Control)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

Sub googlestoragecontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
