To support byte range requests with Wasabi, you need to ensure that your Wasabi storage bucket and objects are correctly configured, and your application or service that interacts with Wasabi is properly set up to handle byte-range requests. Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Ensure Wasabi Bucket and Object Configuration
Wasabi supports byte-range requests natively, so there's no special configuration needed on the Wasabi side beyond ensuring that your objects are publicly accessible or accessible via your application.
2. Configure Your Application to Handle Byte-Range Requests
If you're using Nginx as a reverse proxy or directly serving files, you need to ensure it handles byte-range requests properly.
Step-by-Step Guide:
A. Nginx Configuration
Install Nginx:
Ensure Nginx is installed on your server. If not, you can install it using package managers like apt for Ubuntu/Debian or yum for CentOS.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
Configure Nginx to Serve Content:
Edit your Nginx configuration file, typically found at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory.
Add a server block to handle requests:
nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://wasabi-url; # Replace with your Wasabi bucket URL
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Important: Ensure the headers allow for byte-range requests
proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_buffering off;
}
}
````
Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain and http://wasabi-url with the URL of your Wasabi bucket or the endpoint serving your Wasabi-stored files.
Test Configuration:
Check the Nginx configuration for syntax errors and restart Nginx.
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx
**B. Application Configuration**
If your application makes direct S3-compatible API requests to Wasabi, ensure it includes the Range header in its HTTP requests. For example, if you're using Python with the boto3 library:
python
import boto3
s3 = boto3.client('s3', endpoint_url='https://s3.wasabisys.com')
response = s3.get_object(
Bucket='your-bucket-name',
Key='your-object-key',
Range='bytes=0-1023' # Example byte range
)
data = response['Body'].read()
print(data)
This example requests the first 1024 bytes of an object stored in Wasabi.
3. Validate Byte-Range Requests
You can use tools like curl to test byte-range requests:
curl -I -H "Range: bytes=0-1023" http://yourdomain.com/your-object-key
This should return HTTP headers including 206 Partial Content if byte-range requests are supported.
By following these steps, you should be able to support byte-range requests for content stored in Wasabi and served through Nginx. If you encounter any specific issues or errors, feel free to ask for more detailed troubleshooting.
what if I use cloudflare as a cdn as my s3 proxy, will I need other set up at cloudflare or in ngixn config file?
If you use Cloudflare as a CDN to proxy your S3-compatible Wasabi storage, you will need to ensure that both Cloudflare and Nginx are properly configured to support byte-range requests. Here are the steps:
1. Cloudflare Configuration
Cloudflare typically supports byte-range requests by default, but there are a few settings you should verify:
A. Bypass Cache for Certain Requests
To ensure that byte-range requests are handled correctly, you may need to bypass the cache for these types of requests. This can be done using Cloudflare Page Rules.
**Log in to Cloudflare:**
Go to your Cloudflare dashboard and select your domain.
**Create a Page Rule:**
Navigate to the "Page Rules" section.
Create a new Page Rule to match the URL pattern where your Wasabi content is served.
Set the rule to Cache Level: Bypass for these URLs.
B. Enable Caching and Headers
Ensure that your cache settings allow for proper handling of range requests.
Caching Settings:
Navigate to the "Caching" section.
Set the Browser Cache TTL to an appropriate value to control client-side caching.
Ensure that Always Online is disabled for resources that need byte-range requests.
Header Configuration:
Ensure that the Accept-Ranges header is properly sent from your origin server (Nginx in this case).
2. Nginx Configuration
You need to configure Nginx to ensure it supports byte-range requests and works well with Cloudflare.
A. Nginx Configuration for Byte-Range Requests
Edit your Nginx configuration file to ensure it supports byte-range requests and proxies them correctly to Wasabi.
nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://wasabi-url; # Replace with your Wasabi bucket URL
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Important: Ensure the headers allow for byte-range requests
proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_buffering off;
# Additional caching headers if needed
add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000";
add_header Accept-Ranges "bytes";
}
}
3. Validate Configuration
After making these changes, you should validate that byte-range requests are handled correctly.
A. Test with curl
Use curl to test byte-range requests and ensure that they are working through Cloudflare.
curl -I -H "Range: bytes=0-1023" http://yourdomain.com/your-object-key
This should return HTTP headers including 206 Partial Content.
B. Monitor Cloudflare
Check Cloudflare's analytics and logs to ensure that requests are being served correctly and efficiently.
### Summary
Cloudflare Configuration:
Create Page Rules to bypass cache for byte-range requests.
Ensure proper caching settings.
Verify header handling.
Nginx Configuration:
Ensure byte-range requests are supported.
Proxy requests correctly to Wasabi.
Validation:
Test with tools like curl.
Monitor Cloudflare analytics.
By following these steps, you should be able to set up Cloudflare as a CDN for your Wasabi storage, with proper support for byte-range requests.
**how to find out URL pattern for my Wasabi content?**
Finding the URL pattern for your Wasabi content involves identifying the URL structure that corresponds to the objects stored in your Wasabi bucket. Here’s how you can determine and verify the URL pattern:
1. Understanding Wasabi's S3-Compatible URL Structure
Wasabi's URL structure is similar to Amazon S3. The typical URL pattern for accessing objects in a Wasabi bucket is:
php
https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region>.wasabisys.com/<object-key>
For example, if you have a bucket named my-bucket in the us-east-1 region and an object with the key my-file.txt, the URL would be:
https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/my-file.txt
2. Determine the Region
First, identify the region your Wasabi bucket is in. Wasabi supports multiple regions, such as us-east-1, us-west-1, etc. You can find this information in the Wasabi Management Console under the bucket's details.
3. Construct the URL
Using the bucket name and region, construct the URL pattern as shown above.
4. Test the URL
You can test the constructed URL in your browser or using tools like curl to ensure it correctly points to your object.
5. Nginx Configuration Example
Here’s how you can use this URL pattern in your Nginx configuration:
ngixn
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region>.wasabisys.com;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Ensure the headers allow for byte-range requests
proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_buffering off;
# Additional caching headers if needed
add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000";
add_header Accept-Ranges "bytes";
}
}
Replace <bucket-name> and <region> with your actual bucket name and region.
6. Cloudflare Page Rule
If you are using Cloudflare, create a Page Rule to bypass cache for URLs matching your Wasabi content. For example, if your bucket is my-bucket and region is us-east-1, your Page Rule URL pattern might be:
markdown
my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/
Set the rule to `Cache Level: Bypass`.
Verification
To verify that everything is set up correctly, use curl to check for byte-range support:
curl -I -H "Range: bytes=0-1023" https://yourdomain.com/path/to/your-file.txt
You should see a 206 Partial Content response, indicating that byte-range requests are supported.
By following these steps, you can determine the URL pattern for your Wasabi content and configure Nginx and Cloudflare to support byte-range requests. If you need further assistance or encounter specific issues, feel free to ask!
**what does "Cache Level: Bypass" mean?**
"Cache Level: Bypass" is a setting in Cloudflare that affects how Cloudflare handles caching for specific requests or URLs. When you set a page rule with "Cache Level: Bypass," you are instructing Cloudflare not to cache the content for those specific URLs. Here’s a breakdown of what this means and why you might use it:
What "Cache Level: Bypass" Means
No Caching at Cloudflare Edge:
Cloudflare will not store a copy of the response in its edge servers. This means every request for that URL will be forwarded to your origin server (e.g., your Nginx server or directly to Wasabi) without serving a cached version.
Direct Origin Requests:
Each request will be directly fetched from the origin server, ensuring that the client receives the most up-to-date content.
Useful for Dynamic Content:
This setting is particularly useful for content that changes frequently or for endpoints where you want to ensure clients always get the latest version directly from the origin server.
### Why Use "Cache Level: Bypass"
Dynamic or Sensitive Data:
For content that changes often, like dynamic web pages, personalized content, or sensitive information, caching may lead to outdated or incorrect data being served to users.
Byte-Range Requests:
For files where byte-range requests are essential (e.g., video files or large files that users might download in parts), it’s crucial to ensure these requests are handled correctly. Bypassing the cache can help avoid issues where the cache might not support or correctly handle byte-range requests.
API Responses:
For APIs serving real-time data, it’s often important to bypass the cache to ensure that clients receive the most current data.
**How to Set "Cache Level: Bypass" in Cloudflare**
Log in to Cloudflare:
Go to your Cloudflare dashboard and select your domain.
Navigate to Page Rules:
Click on the "Page Rules" tab.
Create a New Page Rule:
Click "Create Page Rule."
Enter the URL pattern that you want to apply the rule to. For example, *my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/* to match all objects in your Wasabi bucket.
Add the setting Cache Level: Bypass.
Save and Deploy:
Save the rule and ensure it is active.
Example Page Rule Setup
Here’s an example of what the rule might look like:
URL pattern: *my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/*
Setting: Cache Level: Bypass
This rule will match all URLs for objects in your Wasabi bucket and instruct Cloudflare not to cache them.
Verifying the Setup
After setting up the Page Rule, you can verify that Cloudflare is bypassing the cache:
Using curl:
Run a curl command to fetch the headers and verify that Cloudflare is not caching the response.
sh
curl -I https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/path/to/object
Check Headers:
Look for headers like CF-Cache-Status. It should show BYPASS.
Summary
Using "Cache Level: Bypass" in Cloudflare ensures that specific URLs are always fetched directly from the origin server without being cached at Cloudflare's edge. This is useful for dynamic content, byte-range requests, and any scenario where you need to ensure the most up-to-date data is served to clients.

### how to get the wasabi object url
To get the URL for an object stored in your Wasabi bucket, you can follow these steps:
1. Wasabi Management Console
Steps:
Log in to the Wasabi Management Console:
Go to the Wasabi website and log in to your account.
Navigate to Your Bucket:
Go to the "Buckets" section and select the bucket containing the object you want the URL for.
Find the Object:
Browse or search for the specific object within your bucket.
Get the Object URL:
Click on the object to view its details.
You should see an option to get the object's URL, usually labeled as "Object URL" or similar.
2. Using Wasabi's S3 API with Tools like awscli or s3cmd
Using awscli:
Configure awscli with Wasabi:
If you haven't configured awscli to work with Wasabi, you need to set it up first. Create a new profile in your AWS CLI configuration for Wasabi.
sh
aws configure --profile wasabi
Use the following settings:
AWS Access Key ID: [Your Wasabi Access Key]
AWS Secret Access Key: [Your Wasabi Secret Key]
Default region name: [Leave empty or use us-east-1 or another Wasabi region]
Default output format: [Your preferred format, e.g., json]
Then, update the ~/.aws/config file to include the endpoint:
ini
[profile wasabi]
region = us-east-1
s3 =
endpoint_url = https://s3.wasabisys.com
List the Objects in Your Bucket:
Use the aws s3 ls command to list objects in your bucket.
sh
aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket-name --profile wasabi
Get the Object URL:
Construct the URL using the pattern: https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region>.wasabisys.com/<object-key>
For example, if you have an object named example.txt in the my-bucket bucket in the us-east-1 region, the URL would be:
plaintext
https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/example.txt
Using s3cmd:
Configure s3cmd for Wasabi:
Install s3cmd if you haven't already:
sudo apt-get install s3cmd
Configure s3cmd with your Wasabi credentials:
s3cmd --configure
Use the following settings:
Access Key: [Your Wasabi Access Key]
Secret Key: [Your Wasabi Secret Key]
Default Region: us-east-1 (or your specific region)
S3 Endpoint: s3.wasabisys.com
List the Objects in Your Bucket:
Use the s3cmd ls command to list objects in your bucket.
sh
s3cmd ls s3://your-bucket-name
Get the Object URL:
Construct the URL using the pattern: https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region>.wasabisys.com/<object-key>
Example URL Construction
Assuming:
Bucket Name: my-bucket
Region: us-east-1
Object Key: example.txt
The object URL would be:
plaintext
https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/example.txt
Summary
Using Wasabi Management Console:
Directly get the object URL from the console.
Using AWS CLI or s3cmd:
Configure the tool to work with Wasabi.
List the objects and construct the URL using the standard pattern.
By following these steps, you should be able to get the URL for any object stored in your Wasabi bucket.
### with the wasabi url, the file download automatically and it does not return any headers information
If the file from Wasabi is downloading automatically instead of displaying headers information, it might be because of the way browsers handle certain file types. To view the headers, you can use command-line tools like curl or wget. These tools allow you to see the HTTP response headers directly.
Using curl
curl is a powerful command-line tool to transfer data from or to a server. It supports various protocols, including HTTP, and can display headers.
To fetch and display headers using curl:
sh
curl -I https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/path/to/your-file.txt
The -I option makes a HEAD request, which retrieves the headers without downloading the body of the file.
Using wget
wget is another command-line utility for retrieving files from the web. You can use it to view headers as well.
To fetch and display headers using wget:
sh
wget --server-response --spider https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/path/to/your-file.txt
The --server-response option prints the server's response (headers) and the --spider option prevents actual downloading of the file.
Example Output with curl
Let's say you run the following command:
sh
curl -I https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/example.txt
You might get an output similar to this:
plaintext
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
x-amz-id-2: example-id-2
x-amz-request-id: example-request-id
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMT
Last-Modified: Tue, 10 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMT
ETag: "example-etag"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 12345
Server: AmazonS3
Configuring Nginx to Handle Wasabi Objects
If you need to set up Nginx to handle Wasabi objects and view headers through it, here's how you can configure it:
Configure Nginx to Proxy Wasabi:
nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name cdn.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Ensure the headers allow for byte-range requests
proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_buffering off;
# Additional caching headers if needed
add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000";
add_header Accept-Ranges "bytes";
}
}
Reload Nginx Configuration:
sh
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Test with curl Through Your Nginx Proxy:
sh
curl -I http://cdn.example.com/path/to/your-file.txt
### Summary
To view headers without downloading the file, use curl with the -I option or wget with the --server-response --spider options. These tools allow you to see the HTTP response headers directly. Additionally, ensure your Nginx configuration correctly proxies the requests to Wasabi if you are using it as an intermediary.
when I run sudo nginx -t is return with, unknow dirctive https_range
It looks like there might be a typo or misunderstanding in your Nginx configuration. The correct directive for handling byte-range requests is proxy_set_header Range $http_range;. Let's correct the configuration and test it again.
Correct Nginx Configuration for Proxying Wasabi
Ensure that your Nginx configuration does not have any syntax errors and correctly proxies requests to your Wasabi bucket. Here is the corrected configuration:
nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name cdn.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass https://my-bucket.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Ensure the headers allow for byte-range requests
proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_buffering off;
# Additional caching headers if needed
add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000";
add_header Accept-Ranges "bytes";
}
}
If anyone still face some difficulties, please let me know, I can help you with it.
