    Download and Installation

    Relevant resources

    Download COS XML C SDK source code: XML C SDK.
    Download demo: XML C SDK Demo.
    For the SDK changelog, see Changelog.
    For SDK FAQs, see C SDK FAQs.
    Note:
    If you encounter errors such as non-existent functions or methods when using the SDK, you can update the SDK to the latest version and try again.

    Environmental dependencies

    Dependent library: libcurl apr apr-util minixml.

    Installing SDK

    1. Download the CMake tool (v2.6.0 and higher recommended) here and install it as shown below:
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    2. Download libcurl (v7.32.0 or higher recommended) here and install it as shown below:
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    3. Download apr (v1.5.2 or higher recommended) here and install it as shown below:
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    4. Download apr-util (v1.5.4 or higher recommended) here and install it as shown below. You need to specify the --with-apr option during installation.
    ./configure --with-apr=/your/apr/install/path
    make
    make install
    5. Download minixml (v2.8 - 2.12 recommended) here and install it as shown below:
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    6. Compile the COS C SDK. Download the XML C SDK source code and run the following compiling commands:
    cmake .
    make
    make install

    Getting Started

    Below is the general process of using COS XML C SDK.
    1. Initialize the SDK.
    2. Set the request option parameters. For the definitions of parameters such as APPID, SecretId, SecretKey, and Bucket, see COS Glossary.
    APPID is one of the account IDs assigned by the system after you register for a Tencent Cloud account.
    access_key_id and access_key_secret are account API keys.
    endpoint is the COS access domain name. For more information, see Regions and Access Endpoints. For example, the endpoint of the Guangzhou region is cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com, and the endpoint of a global acceleration domain name is cos.accelerate.myqcloud.com. You can add "http" or "https" to the endpoints. The SDK accesses COS via HTTP by default. For example, the endpoint for accessing the Guangzhou region via HTTPS is https://cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com.
    is_cname specifies whether an endpoint is a custom domain name. If is_cname is set to 1, the endpoint is a custom domain name.
    3. Set the parameters required for APIs.
    4. Call the SDK API to initiate a request and get the response.

    Initialization

    Note:
    We recommend you use a temporary key as instructed in Generating and Using Temporary Keys to call the SDK for security purposes. When you apply for a temporary key, follow the Notes on Principle of Least Privilege to avoid leaking resources besides your buckets and objects.
    If you must use a permanent key, we recommend you follow the Notes on Principle of Least Privilege to limit the scope of permission on the permanent key.
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    /* Call the cos_http_io_initialize method at the program entry to perform certain global resource initialization tasks internally covering network, memory, etc. */
    if (cos_http_io_initialize(NULL, 0) != COSE_OK) {
    exit(1);
    }
    
    /* Call a COS SDK API to upload/download files */
    /* ... User logic code, omitted here */
    
    /* Call the cos_http_io_deinitialize method to release global resources allocated previously before the program ends */
    cos_http_io_deinitialize();
    return 0;
    }

    Initializing request options

    /* Create and initialize `options`. This parameter contains global configuration information such as endpoint, access_key_id, acces_key_secret, is_cname, and curl
    * The memory of `options` is allocated by the pool, and will be released upon pool release, so there is no need to release the memory separately.
    */
    options = cos_request_options_create(pool);
    options->config = cos_config_create(options->pool);
    
    /* cos_str_set is a cos_string_t type initialized with a char* string */
    cos_str_set(&options->config->endpoint, "<user's endpoint>"); // Enter the endpoint based on the COS service domain name of your region
    cos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_id, "<user's SecretId>"); // This is the SecretId obtained after you register for the COS service
    cos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_secret, "<user's SecretKey>"); // This is the SecretKey obtained after you register for the COS service
    cos_str_set(&options->config->appid, "<user's AppId>"); // This is the AppId obtained after you register for the COS service
    
    /* You can use a temporary key by setting `sts_token`. When you use a temporary key, you need to set `access_key_id` and `access_key_secret` to its SecretId and SecretKey */
    //cos_str_set(&options->config->sts_token, "MyTokenString");
    /* Whether CNAME is used */
    options->config->is_cname = 0;
    /* Use a custom domain name to access COS */
    /*
    options->config->is_cname = 1;
    cos_str_set(&options->config->endpoint, "<Custom domain name>");
    */
    
    /* Used to set network-related parameters, such as the timeout duration */
    options->ctl = cos_http_controller_create(options->pool, 0);
    
    /* Used to set whether to add Content-MD5 header automatically to the upload request. If `enable` is COS_FALSE, the header will not be automatically added; if `enable` is COS_TRUE, the header will be automatically added. If this parameter is not set, the header will be added by default */
    cos_set_content_md5_enable(options->ctl, COS_FALSE);
    
    /* Used to set the request routing address and port. Normally, you do not need to set this parameter. The request will be routed according to the result of domain name resolution */
    //cos_set_request_route(options->ctl, "192.168.12.34", 80);
    Note:
