Description

google_storage_bucket_object accepts a source parameter that points to a local path. It would be helpful in some situations to have it accept gs:// URIs as well.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• Notes
  • In this case, we need to provide support for transferring/copying objects between storage buckets using source field that can be identified by their gs:// URI syntax.
  • It is a handwritten resource that makes Do call requests using ObjectService methods. In this particular scenario, copying an object from a source to a destination is possible using the Copy(sourceBucket string, sourceObject string, destinationBucket string, destinationObject string, object *Object) method.
