您如何通过本地GAE开发服务器访问云存储映像？

Question

I can't figure out how to generate image urls in the local development server. In production I can use

CloudStorageTools::getImageServingUrl("gs://example/path/to/image.jpg")

but when I use the same line using the development server, it generates

http://localhost:24080/_ah/img/encoded_gs_file:d2lsZHN0YXItZGF0YS9pbWFnZXMvdGVzdC9tZTMuanBlZw== 

instead of a actual url to a image. I'll have a large set of images and they are best suited to be stored with cloud stage instead of the app engine app.

Answer 1

The local dev_appserver uses local file system to emulate GCS. That's why the URL you get from getImageServingUrl only works on your local machine. You'll get a publicly accessible URL when running the app in production.
