Object representation
HCP represents objects differently depending on the protocol you’re using:
- With HTTP, HCP represents each object as a URL.
- With WebDAV, CIFS, and NFS, the HCP file system (HCP-FS) represents objects using the familiar file and directory structure.
This chapter describes how HCP represents objects through the protocols, including descriptions of the files and directories HCP-FS uses to represent object data and object metadata.
