Working with objects and versions

With HTTP, you can perform operations on individual objects. Also, if the namespace you’re using is configured to allow versioning, you can store multiple versions of an object. You can use this technique, for example, to preserve multiple states of a file that changes over time.

You can perform these operations on objects and object versions:

Storing an object or version of an object

Copying an object or version of an object

Checking the existence of an object or multiple versions of an object

Listing object versions

Retrieving an object or multiple versions of an object

Deleting an object and using privileged delete

Purging an object and using privileged purge

This chapter describes how to perform these operations, including how to delete and purge objects that are under retention.

You can also manage the metadata, custom metadata, and ACL for an object. For more information on this, see Working with system metadata, Working with annotations, and Working with ACLs.
