Interface CreateBlob

Empty blobs are placeholders; eventually, you'll want to push data in there. This service allows you to create that placeholder, and it is expected you then use the multipart or raw binary POST call to /blob/{Guid} to push your data.

The combination of Category and OriginalName must be unique, as the GetBlobInfoService allows retrieval based on these values. Internally, a fresh and unique Guid is generated and returned from this request. The response also contains the full Url by which this blob can be accessed (which will contain aforementioned Guid). Use this path to POST your data, too!

• The MimeType is required, a few suggestions would be application/pdf, text/csv or application/json - but you probably already know this.
• The ExpireDate is the date at which the given blob should expire. Leave this empty to suggest to keep it forever. We will bag it and get rid of it when the time is right. :hocho:

When retrieving the blob, it will be returned to you using the MimeType as ContentType header and a proper Expires header.
