### Write File ### ### Write File ###
Here is a simple usage on how to save a file:
To upload a file, first, send a HTTP POST, PUT, or GET request to `/dir/assign` to get an fid and a volume server url:
``` ```
> curl -X POST http://localhost:9333/dir/assign > curl -X POST http://localhost:9333/dir/assign
{"count":1,"fid":"3,01637037d6","url":"127.0.0.1:8080","publicUrl":"localhost:8080"} {"count":1,"fid":"3,01637037d6","url":"127.0.0.1:8080","publicUrl":"localhost:8080"}
``` ```
First, send a HTTP request to get an fid and a volume server url.
Second, to store the file content, send a HTTP multipart PUT or POST request to `url + '/' + fid` from the response:
``` ```
> curl -X PUT -F file=@/home/chris/myphoto.jpg http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6 > curl -X PUT -F file=@/home/chris/myphoto.jpg http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6
{"size": 43234} {"size": 43234}
``` ```
Second, send a HTTP multipart POST request to the volume server url+'/'+fid, to really store the file content.
For update, send another POST request with updated file content.
For update, send another PUT or POST request with updated file content.
For deletion, send an HTTP DELETE request to the same `url + '/' + fid` URL:
For deletion, send a http DELETE request
``` ```
> curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6 > curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6

Here is the example on how to render the URL. Here is the example on how to render the URL.
First lookup the volume server's URLs by the file's volumeId:
``` ```
> curl http://localhost:9333/dir/lookup?volumeId=3 > curl http://localhost:9333/dir/lookup?volumeId=3
{"locations":[{"publicUrl":"localhost:8080","url":"localhost:8080"}]} {"locations":[{"publicUrl":"localhost:8080","url":"localhost:8080"}]}
``` ```
First lookup the volume server's URLs by the file's volumeId. However, since usually there are not too many volume servers, and volumes does not move often, you can cache the results most of the time. Depends on the replication type, one volume can have multiple replica locations. Just randomly pick one location to read.
