Assets¶

Retrieve¶

GET /asset/:name If the asset is a file, this API retrieves the file. In the response header the server will indicate the file content-type. Example: http://localhost:9000/asset/testimg If the caller is a browser and the asset is an image, the browser will show the image itself. WARNING: the name to use in the GET request is the one that was set up in the name field when the asset was created, not its file name sent to the server. WARNING 2: If the asset is an object, an error 404 is sent.

GET /asset/:name/data Retrieves the related data of the asset, including the meta field supplied at the time of creation and, if the asset is a file, the file name, the file dimension, the content type.

GET /asset/:name/download If the asset is a file, this API streams its content adding the header Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= This header forces the browser to download the file, even if its content type is known. Please note that the user agent could ignore this header.
