Special Response Headers

Parameter Type Description
x-cos-replication-rule-creation-time UTC timestamp format. Creation time of a cross-region replication rule.

Response Body

The response body is returned as application/xml. An example including the complete node data is shown below:

<ReplicationConfiguration>
    <Role>qcs::cam::uin/[UIN]:uin/[Subaccount]</Role>
    <Rule>
        <Status></Status>
        <ID></ID>
        <Prefix></Prefix>
        <Destination>
            <Bucket>qcs::cos:[Region]::[BucketName-APPID]</Bucket>
        </Destination>
    </Rule>
</ReplicationConfiguration>

The specific contents are described as follows:

Node Name (Keyword) Parent Node Description Type Required
ReplicationConfiguration No All cross-region replication configurations. Container Yes
Role ReplicationConfiguration Identifier of the initiator.
qcs::cam::uin/<OwnerUin>:uin/<SubUin>
String Yes
Rule ReplicationConfiguration Specific configuration. You can set a maximum of 1,000 rules, which should apply to the same destination bucket. Container Yes
ID ReplicationConfiguration.Rule Identifies the name of a specific rule. String No
Status ReplicationConfiguration.Rule Indicates whether a rule takes effect. Enumerated values: Enabled and Disabled String Yes
Prefix ReplicationConfiguration.Rule Prefix matching policy. Policies cannot overlap; otherwise, an error will be returned. To match the root directory, leave this parameter empty. String Yes
Destination ReplicationConfiguration.Rule Destination bucket information. Container Yes
Bucket ReplicationConfiguration.Rule.Destination Resource identifier:
qcs::cos:[region]::[bucketname-Appid]
String Yes
StorageClass ReplicationConfiguration.Rule.Destination Storage class. Enumerated values: Standard and Standard_IA; default value: original bucket class String No

Error Code Description Status Code
ReplicationConfigurationNotFoundError The configuration for cross-region replication is not found. 404 Not Found

Practical Case

Request

The following example queries the cross-region replication configuration from the originbucket-1250000000.

GET /?replication HTTP/1.1
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2019 07:17:19 GMT
Authorization: q-sign-algorithm=sha1&q-ak=AKIDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&q-sign-time=1503895278;1503895638&q-key-time=1503895278;1503895638&q-header-list=host&q-url-param-list=replication&q-signature=f77900be432072b16afd8222b4b349aabd837cb9
Host: <BucketName-APPID>.<Endpoint>
Content-Length: 0

Response

After receiving the request, COS returns the following response, indicating that the cross-region replication configuration in the bucket is enabled. In the rule configuration, the copied content is all objects with the prefix testPrefix in the bucket originbucket-1250000000. By default, the storage type of object replicas is the same as that of the objects in the source bucket.
