You can append to any HTTP API with &pretty=y to see a formatted json output.

Volume Server

Upload File

  1. curl -F file=@/home/chris/myphoto.jpg http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6
  2. {"size": 43234}

The size returned is the size stored on SeaweedFS, sometimes the file is automatically gzipped based on the mime type.

Upload File Directly

  1. curl -F file=@/home/chris/myphoto.jpg http://localhost:9333/submit
  2. {"fid":"3,01fbe0dc6f1f38","fileName":"myphoto.jpg","fileUrl":"localhost:8080/3,01fbe0dc6f1f38","size":68231}

This API is just for convenience. The master server would get a file id and store the file to the right volume server.It is a convenient API and does not support different parameters when assigning file id. (or you can add the support and make a pull request.)

Delete File

  1. curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6

View Manifest File Content for chunked big file

  1. curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/3,01637037d6?cm=false
