Amazon stores default
Metadata
information like file type, creation date, modified date etc. with the files which are known as system Metadata, Amazon S3 uses these Metadata. Browsers, usually, do not allow you to open and read files like - doc, gif etc., and if you want to do so, you need to
download
the files first. Bucket Explorer provides this facility to its users with an upload option - "
Upload as HTML
", you can easily open and read such files on the browser without downloading them. All you have to do is just upload the files as HTML. This will change the Content-Type of file as
text/html
.
To upload files as HTML :
-
Run Bucket Explorer as usual.
-
Select a bucket.
-
Select the file(s) from the local file system, and right click to choose the option "
Upload as HTML
".
-
After successful uploading of file you will find Metadata as
Content-Type - text/html
.
Note:
You can update the Metadata of
Amazon S3 file
as
Content-Type - text/html
using '
Update Metadata
' option on properties window of file. You will be able to read the file on browser. But in the case of new uploading files, Bucket Explorer provides facility to upload files as HTML in order to open and read files on the browser without downloading them.
