Description

GDataUploadStream is a GOutputStream subclass to allow uploading of files from GData services with authorization from a GDataService under the given GDataAuthorizationDomain. If authorization is not required to perform the upload, a GDataAuthorizationDomain doesn't have to be specified.

Once a GDataUploadStream is instantiated with gdata_upload_stream_new(), the standard GOutputStream API can be used on the stream to upload the file. Network communication may not actually begin until the first call to g_output_stream_write(), so having a GDataUploadStream around is no guarantee that data is being uploaded.

Uploads of a file, or a file with associated metadata (a GDataEntry) should use GDataUploadStream, but if you want to simply upload a single GDataEntry, use gdata_service_insert_entry() instead. GDataUploadStream is for large streaming uploads.

Once an upload is complete, the server's response can be retrieved from the GDataUploadStream using gdata_upload_stream_get_response(). In order for network communication to be guaranteed to have stopped (and thus the response definitely available), g_output_stream_close() must be called on the GDataUploadStream first. Otherwise, gdata_upload_stream_get_response() may return saying that the operation is still in progress.

If the server returns an error instead of a success response, the error will be returned by g_output_stream_close() as a GDataServiceError.

The entire upload operation can be cancelled using the GCancellable instance provided to gdata_upload_stream_new(), or returned by gdata_upload_stream_get_cancellable(). Cancelling this at any time will cause all future GOutputStream method calls to return G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. If any GOutputStream methods are in the process of being called, they will be cancelled and return G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED as soon as possible.

Note that cancelling an individual method call (such as a call to g_output_stream_write()) using the GCancellable parameter of the method will not cancel the upload as a whole — just that particular method call. In the case of g_output_stream_write(), this will cause it to return the number of bytes it has successfully written up to the point of cancellation (up to the requested number of bytes), or return a G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED if it had not managed to write any bytes to the network by that point. This is also the behaviour of g_output_stream_write() when the upload operation as a whole is cancelled.

In the case of g_output_stream_close(), the call will return immediately if network activity hasn't yet started. If it has, the network activity will be cancelled, regardless of whether the call to g_output_stream_close() is cancelled. Cancelling a pending call to g_output_stream_close() (either using the method's GCancellable, or by cancelling the upload stream as a whole) will cause it to stop waiting for the network activity to finish, and return G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED immediately. Network activity will continue to be shut down in the background.

Any outstanding data is guaranteed to be written to the network successfully even if a call to g_output_stream_close() is cancelled. However, if the upload stream as a whole is cancelled using “cancellable”, no more data will be sent over the network, and the network connection will be closed immediately. i.e. GDataUploadStream will do its best to instruct the server to cancel the upload and any associated server-side changes of state.

If the server returns an error message (for example, if the user is not correctly authenticated/authorized or doesn't have suitable permissions to upload from the given URI), it will be returned as a GDataServiceError by g_output_stream_close().

Functions

gdata_upload_stream_new ()

GOutputStream *
gdata_upload_stream_new (GDataService *service,
                         GDataAuthorizationDomain *domain,
                         const gchar *method,
                         const gchar *upload_uri,
                         GDataEntry *entry,
                         const gchar *slug,
                         const gchar *content_type,
                         GCancellable *cancellable);

Creates a new GDataUploadStream, allowing a file to be uploaded from a GData service using standard GOutputStream API.

The HTTP method to use should be specified in method , and will typically be either SOUP_METHOD_POST (for insertions) or SOUP_METHOD_PUT (for updates), according to the server and the upload_uri .

If entry is specified, it will be attached to the upload as the entry to which the file being uploaded belongs. Otherwise, just the file written to the stream will be uploaded, and given a default entry as determined by the server.

slug and content_type must be specified before the upload begins, as they describe the file being streamed. slug is the filename given to the file, which will typically be stored on the server and made available when downloading the file again. content_type must be the correct content type for the file, and should be in the service's list of acceptable content types.

As well as the standard GIO errors, calls to the GOutputStream API on a GDataUploadStream can also return any relevant specific error from GDataServiceError, or GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_PROTOCOL_ERROR in the general case.

If a GCancellable is provided in cancellable , the upload operation may be cancelled at any time from another thread using g_cancellable_cancel(). In this case, any ongoing network activity will be stopped, and any pending or future calls to GOutputStream API on the GDataUploadStream will return G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. Note that the GCancellable objects which can be passed to individual GOutputStream operations will not cancel the upload operation proper if cancelled — they will merely cancel that API call. The only way to cancel the upload operation completely is using this cancellable .

Note that network communication won't begin until the first call to g_output_stream_write() on the GDataUploadStream.

gdata_upload_stream_new_resumable ()

GOutputStream *
gdata_upload_stream_new_resumable (GDataService *service,
                                   GDataAuthorizationDomain *domain,
                                   const gchar *method,
                                   const gchar *upload_uri,
                                   GDataEntry *entry,
                                   const gchar *slug,
                                   const gchar *content_type,
                                   goffset content_length,
                                   GCancellable *cancellable);

Creates a new resumable GDataUploadStream, allowing a file to be uploaded from a GData service using standard GOutputStream API. The upload will use GData's resumable upload API, so should be more reliable than a normal upload (especially if the file is large). See the

GData documentation on resumable uploads for more

information.

The HTTP method to use should be specified in method , and will typically be either SOUP_METHOD_POST (for insertions) or SOUP_METHOD_PUT (for updates), according to the server and the upload_uri .

If entry is specified, it will be attached to the upload as the entry to which the file being uploaded belongs. Otherwise, just the file written to the stream will be uploaded, and given a default entry as determined by the server.

slug , content_type and content_length must be specified before the upload begins, as they describe the file being streamed. slug is the filename given to the file, which will typically be stored on the server and made available when downloading the file again. content_type must be the correct content type for the file, and should be in the service's list of acceptable content types. content_length must be the size of the file being uploaded (not including the XML for any associated GDataEntry) in bytes. Zero is accepted if a metadata-only upload is being performed.

As well as the standard GIO errors, calls to the GOutputStream API on a GDataUploadStream can also return any relevant specific error from GDataServiceError, or GDATA_SERVICE_ERROR_PROTOCOL_ERROR in the general case.

If a GCancellable is provided in cancellable , the upload operation may be cancelled at any time from another thread using g_cancellable_cancel(). In this case, any ongoing network activity will be stopped, and any pending or future calls to GOutputStream API on the GDataUploadStream will return G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. Note that the GCancellable objects which can be passed to individual GOutputStream operations will not cancel the upload operation proper if cancelled — they will merely cancel that API call. The only way to cancel the upload operation completely is using this cancellable .

Note that network communication won't begin until the first call to g_output_stream_write() on the GDataUploadStream.

Parameters

a GDataService

 

domain

the GDataAuthorizationDomain to authorize the upload, or NULL.

gdata_upload_stream_get_response ()

const gchar *
gdata_upload_stream_get_response (GDataUploadStream *self,
                                  gssize *length);

Returns the server's response to the upload operation performed by the GDataUploadStream. If the operation is still underway, or the server's response hasn't been received yet, NULL is returned and length is set to -1.

If there was an error during the upload operation (but it is complete), NULL is returned, and length is set to 0.

While it is safe to call this function from any thread at any time during the network operation, the only way to guarantee that the response has been set before calling this function is to have closed the GDataUploadStream by calling g_output_stream_close() on it, without cancelling the close operation. Once the stream has been closed, all network communication is guaranteed to have finished. Note that if a call to g_output_stream_close() is cancelled, g_output_stream_is_closed() will immediately start to return TRUE, even if the GDataUploadStream is still attempting to flush the network buffers asynchronously — consequently, gdata_upload_stream_get_response() may still return NULL and a length of

-1. The only reliable way to determine if the stream has been fully closed in this situation is to check the results

of gdata_upload_stream_get_response(), rather than g_output_stream_is_closed().

Parameters

self

a GDataUploadStream

 

length

GData resumable upload protocol specification.

Since: 0.13.0


GDataUploadStream

typedef struct _GDataUploadStream GDataUploadStream;

All the fields in the GDataUploadStream structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

Property Details

The “authorization-domain” property

  “authorization-domain”     GDataAuthorizationDomain *

The authorization domain for the upload, against which the “authorizer” for the “service” should be authorized. This may be NULL if authorization is not needed for the upload.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 0.9.0


The “cancellable” property

  “cancellable”              GCancellable *

An optional cancellable used to cancel the entire upload operation. If a GCancellable instance isn't provided for this property at construction time (i.e. to gdata_upload_stream_new()), one will be created internally and can be retrieved using gdata_upload_stream_get_cancellable() and used to cancel the upload operation with g_cancellable_cancel() just as if it was passed to gdata_upload_stream_new().

If the upload operation is cancelled using this GCancellable, any ongoing network activity will be stopped, and any pending or future calls to GOutputStream API on the GDataUploadStream will return G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED. Note that the GCancellable objects which can be passed to individual GOutputStream operations will not cancel the upload operation proper if cancelled — they will merely cancel that API call. The only way to cancel the upload operation completely is using “cancellable”.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 0.8.0


The “content-length” property

  “content-length”           gint64

The content length (in bytes) of the file being uploaded (i.e. as returned by g_file_info_get_size()). Note that this does not include the length of the XML serialisation of “entry”, if set.

If this is -1 the upload will be non-resumable; if it is non-negative, the upload will be resumable.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Allowed values: >= -1

Default value: -1

Since: 0.13.0


The “content-type” property

  “content-type”             gchar *

The service which is used to authorize the upload, and to which the upload relates.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 0.5.0


The “slug” property

  “slug”                     gchar *

The slug of the file being uploaded. This is usually the display name of the file (i.e. as returned by g_file_info_get_display_name()).

Default value: NULL

Since: 0.5.0


The “upload-uri” property

  “upload-uri”               gchar *

The URI to upload the data and metadata to. This must be HTTPS.
