PowerScale OneFS API Reference

Common request headers

When you send a request to the OneFS API, you can access data through customized headers along with standard HTTP headers.

The following table provides information about common HTTP request headers:


Name	Description	Type	Required
Authorization	Specifies the authentication signature.	String	Yes
Content-length	Specifies the length of the message body.	Integer	Conditional
Date	Specifies the current date according to the requestor.	HTTP-date	No. A client should only send a Date header in a request that includes an entity-body, such as in PUT and POST requests. A client without a clock must not send a Date header in a request.
x-isi-ifs-spec-version	Specifies the protocol specification version. The client specifies the protocol version, and the server determines if the protocol version is supported. You can test backwards compatibility with this header.	String	Conditional
x-isi-ifs-target-type	Specifies the resource type. For PUT operations, this value can be `container` or `object`. For GET operations, this value can be `container`, `object`, or `any`, or this parameter can be omitted.	String	Yes, for PUT operations. Conditional, for GET operations.
