Hi again,

I see, thanks. The Content Type I would recommend is indeed application/octet-stream. However, to specify this in the call to GetContentUploadUrl, you need to make the call like so:

curl -XPOST https://[myTitleID].playfabapi.com/admin/GetContentUploadUrl 

-H "Content-Type: application/json" 

-H "X-SecretKey: [appSecretKey]]" 

-d "{'ContentType' : 'application/octet-stream', 'Key' : 'application/assetBundle'}"

Could you give that a try?

Hi Andrei,

That's most commonly caused by a mis-match in the Content Type. The API call has a "ContentType" parameter, which needs to match the "Content-Type" header you specify in the upload. What's the file type, and what are you specifying in the calls?

Hi Brendan,

Thank you for the quick reply. I tried application/octet-stream since my file is an unity asset bundle. I also tried different content-types such as image just to try to get it working.

Here are the curl commands I've used:

curl -XPOST https://[myTitleID].playfabapi.com/admin/GetContentUploadUrl 

-H "Content-Type: application/json" 

-H "X-SecretKey: [appSecretKey]]" 

-d "{'Key' : 'application/assetBundle'}"

curl -v --insecure -H "Content-Type:application/octet-stream" --upload-file "assetBundle" "[url received from GetContentUploadURL]?

Kind regards,

Andrei

Hi,

I have one more question. I've been testing this feature with some files. At some point I have removed the files from the server using the DeleteContent call. Still my applications find the old files, download them and use them. Are these files cached on the server? If yes, for how long.

Kind regards,

Andrei

Yes, the Content cache time is one hour.
