Google Cloud Storage makes browser download image

Question

After uploading a file to a GCS bucket, that is publically readbale, when I access the file directly ( http://storage.googleapis.com/ /image.png) the browser (Chrome) downloads the file, instead of displaying it.

In the Inspector, I can see it is being served with a content type of binary/octet-stream.

How do I make sure the file has the correct content type when retrieving?

Answer 1

When using the GCS PHP Filesystem Library , you can set the Content-Type of the uploaded object using the file options parameter. There is an example of it in the documentation :

$options = ['gs' => ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain']];
$ctx = stream_context_create($options);
file_put_contents('gs://my_bucket/hello.txt', 'Hello', 0, $ctx);
