Get Content

The getContent call applies only to objects of type document. If you use this call on an object of type collection you will receive an error response.

Request

Request method is getContent:

GET https://app.netfiles.de/<dataroom-name>/projectfiles/<parentname>/<objectname>;internal&action=json&apikey=<YourApiKey>&deviceID=<currentDeviceID>&method=getContent
Authorization: Basic BASE64(UTF8Bytes(<username>:<password>))
User-Agent: iPad
netfiles: <value of the netfiles cookie>
sk1: <value of the sk1 cookie>
HW_User: <value of the HW_User cookie>
HyperwaveSession: <value of the HyperwaveSession cookie>
sk_s_web_S: <value of the sk_s_web_S cookie>
sk_p_web_S: <value of the sk_p_web_S cookie>

Response Headers

Note: The response headers will tell you that the content is an application/json, which is not correct. You have to check the result of a previous Get Object call or the item in the Get Children call of this objects parent.

What is important is that the content-length -header and the documentSize in the object record should be identical.

Response

The response is binary data of length content-length from the headers.

In order to process the received binary data correctly, you need to analyze the result of Get Children of the parent of this object (identify the right object there) or retrieve information about this object using the Get Object call.

There you will find the actual document type in the documentType attribute.

You should also check the fingerprint of the received bytes against the md5Checksum from the record.
