Long URLs a problem for adding targets to collections?
2 CommentsSorted by Popular
Hello,
I'm trying to add an image to a collection from Google Storage. Since the image is not publicly accessible from Cloud Storage, I can't link to it directly. Instead, I make the GCS API call to generate a signed URL (which expires after a short while) and send that to Wikitude. Unfortunately, Wikitude doesn't seem to handle it properly:
$ curl -v -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Version: 3' -H 'X-Token: my-manager-token' -d '{"imageUrl": "https://storage.googleapis.com/lifeprint2-1222.appspot.com/296fa09c%2F296fa09c945d53af583eea822b2b81adeba0a62e.jpg?Expires=1463239340&GoogleAccessId=lifeprint2-1222%40appspot.gserviceaccount.com&Signature=Y2wNM9lu2MWorpgNGS5ba55Irmu8%2BU2682x0NLMpOabkbBhrr%2FD8aafxsNRjNxS4L4MthrZM8LGVv8CM9smVIqqTTcR6va2rRJzFIGUS8vVQXKEaCdWpSICBEeZ5a6AH7Vvrq4OEZWQVP%2FGUY4uuWY50dLRcIcuTL16U7hmPAE4in1T6bbVeTq7oPjgzRzFwCBcTkvklr7Qn3ANCnPpwqGCn6Nn3TsTKpkk13gtRWMgLL%2FcDbd5Ei6SLEMDTZTYSleTnId7zTMeGcrfC9PAQcy%2FtVCJU8SysvoHEKucA4D0n14NM4wqmRdEoG0n2YPpCKAqgkCBPX%2FYEpVifGD8nBQ%3D%3D", "name": "corridor"}' https://api-us.wikitude.com/cloudrecognition/targetCollection/my-collection-id/target

(I've obscured the collection id and my token.)
What do you suggest I do? I can make the same call for public image on Google Cloud Storage just fine (it has a shorter URL -- there's no other difference). The signed URL for private content is around 560+ bytes; is that too long?
Thanks,
Faried.
Hi there!
The length of the url shouldn't be an issue but please ensure to solely use publicly available ressources as url-attribute. The asset is downloaded in default way without any special implementation.
You may e.g. first download protected files to a public directory on your server and use this url then as target-upload url.
Best regards
