Google App Engine PHP SDK - Google Cloud Storage - accessing contents of uploaded file

Question

i have a form on a page using CloudStorageTools::createUploadUrl for the action...

i set up my bucket to receive the file, and that works fine... i see the $_FILE populated, and the [tmp_name] is set to a "gs://bucket/key" URL... i can use move_uploaded_file to copy the file with a different name, so my app definitely has access to the bucket and can make changes...

when i use file_get_contents on the same filepath, i get nothing... fopen returns false.

i tried to get the public URL to the file and then requesting it with an HTTPS stream, but that returned

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Error><Code>AccessDenied</Code><Message>Access denied.</Message></Error>

i tried adding all the google api OAuth tokens and API version, but it still returned AccessDenied.

is something wrong on GAE? how can i retrieve an uploaded file's contents?

Answer 1

Is the acl of the file set to 'public-read'? https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/php/googlestorage/#writing_to_google_cloud_storage
