StartBlobUploadToParent

StartBlobUploadToParent

  • Method: POST.

Starts a blob write operation by loading an existing content (determined by the requested parent resource and the provided file name) or creating a new one. It puts the content into a multistep saving state and calls StartChunk. This method is used by clients who intend to use the blob storage client to write files directly to the blob storage.

Request example:

The targetContent can be any content type

Parameters:

  • name (string): Name of the new (or existing) content.
  • contentType (string): Content type of the new content.
  • fullSize (long): Size of the whole binary.
  • fieldName (string) optional: Optional custom binary field name, if it is other than 'Binary'.
