PUT Object - Copy¶
You can use this operation to create a copy of an existing object in OBS.
By default, a PUT Object - Copy operation copies object metadata together with the object. If you want to update the metadata, provide new metadata in the PUT Object - Copy request. The object ACL is not copied together with the object and the ACL of a copy object is set to private by default. You can send a PUT Object acl request to modify the object ACL.
The PUT Object - Copy request must contain authentication information and cannot contain a request body.
Versioning¶
By default, x-amz-copy-source specifies the latest version of the source object. If the latest version of the source object is a deletion mark, the object is considered to be deleted. You can add versionId to request header x-amz-copy-source to copy an object with the specified version ID.
If a bucket has versioning enabled, the system automatically generates a unique version ID for the requested object in this bucket and returns the version ID in response header x-amz-version-id. If a bucket has versioning suspended, the version ID of the requested object in this bucket is null.
Important
If multi-version is not enabled for a bucket, you can replace source object objecta with target object objectb by replication. If objectb already exists before you perform replication, the new objectb will overwrite the old objectb after you perform replication.
After replication is performed successfully, only new objectb can be downloaded. The old objectb will be deleted. Before using the copy interface, ensure that the target object does not exist or is useless to avoid incorrect data deletion. During the replication, the source object objecta is not changed.
You cannot determine whether a request is executed successfully only using status_code in the header returned by HTTP. If 200 in status_code is returned, the server has received the request and starts to process the request. The body in the response shows whether the replication operation succeeds. The replication operation succeeds only when the body has ETags. Otherwise, the replication operation fails.
WORM¶
If a bucket has WORM enabled, you can configure retention policies for objects in the bucket. You can specify the x-amz-object-lock-mode and x-amz-object-lock-retain-until-date headers to configure a retention policy when you copy an object. If you do not specify these two headers but have configured a default bucket-level WORM policy, this default policy automatically applies to the object newly copied. You can also configure or update a WORM retention policy after an object is copied to the bucket, see section Configuring WORM Retention for an Object.
Note
In a copy operation, the object protection status is not copied, so the protection status of an object copy is independent of that of the source object. After the copy is complete, WORM retention changes made on the source object does not affect the object copy.

Request Headers¶
This request uses common headers. For details about common request headers, see section Common Request Headers. In addition, you can add optional headers to specify the object to be copied. Table 1 describes the optional headers.
Header | Description | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
x-amz-acl | Indicates the ACL applied to the copy object. Possible values are private, public-read, public-read-write, authenticated-read, bucket-owner-read, and bucket-owner-full-control. Type: String Example: x-amz-acl: acl | Optional |
x-amz-copy-source | Indicates the name of the source bucket and the key of the source object. If the source object has multiple version IDs, versionId is used to specify the required version ID. Type: String Example: x-amz-copy-source: /source_bucket/sourceObject | Mandatory |
x-amz-metadata-directive | Indicates whether the metadata is copied from the source object or replaced with the metadata provided in the request. Type: String Valid values: COPY or REPLACE Default: COPY Example: x-amz-metadata-directive: COPY Constraints:
| Optional |
x-amz-copy-source-if-match | Copies the source object only if its ETag matches the one specified by this header, otherwise a 412 HTTP status code error (failed precondition) is returned. Type: String Example: x-amz-copy-source-if-match: etag Constraints: This header can be used with x-amz-copy-source-if-unmodified-since but cannot be used with other conditional copy headers. | Optional |
x-amz-copy-source-if-none-match | Copies the source object only if its ETag is different from the one specified by this header, otherwise a 412 HTTP status code error (failed precondition) is returned. Type: String Example: x-amz-copy-source-if-none-match: etag | Optional |
x-amz-copy-source-if-unmodified-since | Copies the source object only if it has not been modified since the time specified by this header, otherwise a 412 HTTP status code error (failed precondition) is returned. Type: HTTP time string complying with the format specified in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt. Example: x-amz-copy-source-if-unmodified-since: time-stamp Constraints: This header can be used with x-amz-copy-source-if-match but cannot be used with other conditional copy headers. | Optional |
x-amz-copy-source-if-modified-since | Copies the source object only if it has not been modified since the time specified by this header, otherwise a 412 HTTP status code error (failed precondition) is returned. Type: HTTP time string complying with the format specified in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt. Example: x-amz-copy-source-if-modified-since: time-stamp Constraints: This header can be used with x-amz-copy-source-if-none-match but cannot be used with other conditional copy headers. | Optional |
x-amz-website-redirect-location | If a bucket is configured as a website, redirects requests for this object to another object in the same bucket or to an external URL. OBS stores the value of this header in the object metadata. Type: String Default: None Constraint: The value must be prefixed by a slash (/), http://, or https://. The length of the value cannot exceed 2 K. | Optional |
x-amz-security-token | Header field used to identify the request of a federated user. When the federal authentication function is enabled, users sending such requests are identified as federated users. Type: string | Optional. This parameter must be carried in the request sent by federated users. |
x-amz-object-lock-mode | WORM mode that will be applied to the object. Currently, only COMPLIANCE is supported. This header must be used together with x-amz-object-lock-retain-until-date. Type: string Example: x-amz-object-lock-mode:COMPLIANCE | No, but required when x-amz-object-lock-retain-until-date is present. |
x-amz-object-lock-retain-until-date | Indicates the expiration time of the Object Lock retention. The value must be a UTC time that complies with ISO 8601, for example, 2015-07-01T04:11:15Z. This header must be used together with x-amz-object-lock-mode. Type: string Example: x-amz-object-lock-retain-until-date:2015-07-01T04:11:15Z | No, but required when x-amz-object-lock-mode is present. |
