Change object MIME type during copy

[kevink008]

Hi,

I am using ecs-sync to copy objects between two S3 buckets on the same ECS VDC.

Is it possible to change the mime-type during the copy?

I would like to change MIME type from "application/octet-stream" to "application/pdf".

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

Hi @kevink008, Filter "Override Mimetype" fits in your use scenario. You can either add the filter via UI or CLI.

Override Mimetype (override-mimetype)
    This plugin allows you to override the default mimetype of objects getting
    transferred. It is useful for instances where the mimetype of an object
    cannot be inferred from its extension or is nonstandard (not in Java's
    mime.types file). You can also use the force option to override the
    mimetype of all objects
    --force-mimetype                 If specified, the mimetype will be
                                     overwritten regardless of its prior value
    --override-mimetype <mimetype>   Specifies the mimetype to use when an
                                     object has no default mimetype

Thanks, Eric

Hi @xiaoxin-ren,

Thanks.

I have just built a new VM with ecs-sync 3.5.2 by following the wiki.

I am stumped on how to add the Override Mimetype filter via UI.

How do I do that?

Cheers, Kevin

@xiaoxin-ren , I just found the "add-filter" link in UI. Duh!
