# presign put url

This block is part of the [`object storage`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/object%20storage) group and was last modified in core [`v15.0.1`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/150001).

Creates a temporary URL that lets a browser upload one object directly to storage, without the file passing through this server. Not available in a simulation : the URL is a real credential.

- flow `flow`

- connection required `s3connection` The object storage connection to use, from an **open connection** block.

- bucket `value` Bucket name. Leave empty to use the bucket set on the connection.

- key required `value` The object key the URL should grant write access to.

- expires in (seconds) `number` How long the URL stays valid. Defaults to 900 (15 minutes); the maximum SigV4 allows is 604800 (7 days).

Default `900`

- content type `value` Strongly recommended. The uploader must send exactly this Content-Type, which stops the URL being used to store something else.

- flow `flow`

- connection `s3connection` The same connection, so it can be passed to the next block.

- success `condition`

- error `value`

- url `value` The signed URL. Anyone holding it has this access until it expires.

- expires at `date` RFC-3339 timestamp at which the URL stops working.

- expires in `number` Lifetime in seconds, as applied.

Builds a time-limited URL granting anonymous WRITE of `bucket`/`key`, for direct browser-to-storage uploads. Makes NO network call : pure signing : but is SUPPRESSED in a simulation anyway: minting anonymous write access to a live bucket is a real effect that outlives the dry run, and simulating is a lower bar than a production run. The signature covers the method and the key, so the holder cannot READ with it and cannot write anywhere else. It does NOT cover the body : that is what makes a browser upload possible : so the holder may store ANY BYTES at that key until it expires. Keep `expires_in` short and the key specific. Setting `content_type` BINDS the uploader: the request must carry exactly that Content-Type or the gateway refuses it. That is what stops a URL issued for an image being used to park an HTML document that then serves from the bucket's own origin : set it whenever the URL leaves the server. Default 900s, maximum 604800s (7 days); a larger value is refused, not clamped. success=false with NO_CONNECTION, MISSING_BUCKET, MISSING_KEY, or an out-of-range expiry.
