Resumable upload session uri request with Google Cloud Storage

Question

I am trying to generate a resumable session uri using the Google Cloud Storage JSON API. Following the docs I have put together the following curl command to satisfy only the required arguments

curl \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Length: 1000000" \
-d "uploadType=resumable&name=cat.jpg" \
https://www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/my-bucket/o

However, this times out and the server never responds. Note that Content-Type is only required if also sending the file metadata. I've tried also adding the metadata and associated data, but this also fails.

In the example request in the docs there is an Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN] header which isn't mentioned in the steps. I have also tried adding this, using the app's api key, but this also times out.

The ACL on the bucket has been set to all users writable. CORS is not configured.

Could anyone point out where I'm going wrong?

The curl verbose output is

Answer 1

So I have this working now. I added the object name in the JSON body and then added the uploadType=resumable to the url directly so that it looks like the following

curl \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" \
-H "X-Upload-Content-Type: image/jpeg" \
-H "X-Upload-Content-Length: 2000000" \
-d '{"name": "cat.jpg"}' \
https://www.googleapis.com/upload/storage/v1/b/my-bucket/o?uploadType=resumable
