Chunk upload is a method for uploading large files by dividing them into smaller chunks and uploading each chunk separately. This approach is efficient for handling large files and provides better error recovery.

Overview

The chunk_upload API allows developers to upload files in chunks. Each chunk is uploaded as a separate request, and the server keeps track of the chunks to reconstruct the original file.

Endpoints

  • GET /api/v1/chunk_upload: Retrieve information about the chunk upload process.

Usage

To upload a file in chunks, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the File: Split the file into smaller chunks. The size of each chunk should be specified in the request.
  2. Upload Chunks: Upload each chunk to the server using the POST /api/v1/chunk_upload endpoint.
  3. Verify Upload: After all chunks are uploaded, verify the upload by using the GET /api/v1/chunk_upload/verify endpoint.

Example Request

GET /api/v1/chunk_upload

Response

{
  "message": "Chunk upload is enabled on this server."
}
