Description

I'm uploading files to a Rackspace Cloud Files container, and need to add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header to all files. From the docs --

https://trac.cyberduck.io/wiki/help/en/howto/cloudfiles#Defaultmetadata

https://trac.cyberduck.io/wiki/help/en/howto/preferences#Hiddenconfigurationoptions

I understand that I can set the default metadata headers for uploads in user.config.

I added the following to <settings> in C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Cyberduck\Cyberduck.exe_Url_<...>\4.6.1.16121\user.config:

<setting name="cf.metadata.default" value="Access-Control-Allow-Origin=*" />

But when I upload the files to Rackspace, Cyberduck uploads them without this header.

Fiddler shows that Cyberduck PUTs the file without the custom header, and doesn't additionally POST the header:

PUT https://storage101.ord1.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_.../container-name/myfile.htm HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/html
X-Auth-Token: ...
Content-Length: 10864
Host: storage101.ord1.clouddrive.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Cyberduck/4.6.3 (16490) (Windows 7/6.1) (x86)
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

<!DOCTYPE html>
...

If I PUT the file using cURL, the header gets added correctly:

> curl -i -X PUT -T myfile.htm -H "X-Auth-Token: ..." -H "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" https://storage101.ord1.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_.../container-name/myfile.htm
HTTP/1.1 201 Created

> curl -i -X HEAD -H "X-Auth-Token: ..." https://storage101.ord1.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_.../container-name/myfile.htm
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Type: text/html
...

Milestone set to 4.6.4
Resolution set to fixed
Status changed from new to closed

This is a documentation error. The correct property name is openstack.metadata.default.

Fixed in help/en/howto/cloudfiles.

openstack.metadata.default doesn't work for me. The header isn't PUT/POSTed during upload.

Added test in r16621.

Replying to Olga:

openstack.metadata.default doesn't work for me. The header isn't PUT/POSTed during upload.

Have you restarted Cyberduck after making the changes?

I close Cyberduck before editing the config file.

I tried (in turns) the CORS header:

...
<setting name="CdSettings" serializeAs="Xml">
  <value>
    <settings>
      ...
      <setting name="openstack.metadata.default" value="Access-Control-Allow-Origin=*" />
    </settings>
  </value>
</setting>
...

and the example from the documentation:

<setting name="openstack.metadata.default" value="Creator=Cyberduck" />

Also updated to 4.6.4. But the PUT request is the same - without this header.

Any ideas?

I'm unable to reproduce the issue. Works for me. Are you sure that you have edited the correct user.config?

C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Cyberduck\Cyberduck.exe_Url_<...>\4.6.1.16121\user.config

The issue is reported against 4.6.3 but apparently you changed the 4.6.1 settings. Can you please update to 4.6.4 and edit the appropriate user.config.

OK, there seems to be another doc error here: https://trac.cyberduck.io/wiki/help/en/faq#Windows2

It says on Windows 7 the user.config lives in %APPDATA%\Cyberduck\…, but it's actually in %APPDATA%\iterate_GmbH\…, separately from all other app support files:

Roaming\
  Cyberduck\
    Bookmarks\
    ...
    Transfers\
    cyberduck.log
  iterate_GmbH\
    Cyberduck.exe_Url_*\
      4.6.3.16490\
        user.config
      4.6.4.16610\
        user.config

The path must have been changed in 4.6.2 or 4.6.3.

So I was editing a wrong file left over from 4.6.1. After I changed the correct file the currently installed version 4.6.4, it worked.

Thanks!
