Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* StartMultipartUpload(const char* lpszObjectName);

Unicode (Windows)

#define MID_LINODE_STARTMULTIPARTUPLOAD 30

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
• CopyPart
• 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
