Apigee Large File Upload Failing with 405

[rraghuna]

Hello,

I am trying to upload a file of size approximately 11.4MB , I am getting the below response from Apigee . We have a requirement to upload files upto 1.5GB. 

My Proxy endpoint looks like this . 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ProxyEndpoint name="default">

</ProxyEndpoint>

If i enable  the below

   <Properties>
      <Property name="allow.http10">true</Property>
      <Property name="response.streaming.enabled">true</Property>
      <Property name="request.streaming.enabled">true</Property>
    </Properties>

My existing flows are failing. 

as my base path is something like /ftf-angular/* .

How do i selectively enable streaming for the api call something like  

/ftf-angular/internal/stats/api/uploadfile 

Thanks

I am getting the below response from Apigee .

You didn't show any error message.

We have a requirement to upload files upto 1.5GB.

That exceeds the documented limit of 10mb. Apigee won't work for streaming large data files. So I think you need to consider alternative designs.

One is to use a Google Cloud Storage bucket to store the file, and allow Apigee to act as the control channel for the transfer, using signed URLs. This Github repo shows a Java callout that you can use to  help implement that pattern. 

And here is a screencast that explains the pattern.
