Minor Changes

  • dc561e0: Add --upload-content-type flag and smart MIME inference for multipart uploads

    Previously, multipart uploads used the metadata mimeType field for both the Drive
    metadata and the media part's Content-Type header. This made it impossible to upload
    a file in one format (e.g. Markdown) and have Drive convert it to another (e.g. Google Docs),
    because the media Content-Type and the target mimeType must differ for import conversions.

    The new --upload-content-type flag allows setting the media Content-Type explicitly.
    When omitted, the media type is now inferred from the file extension before falling back
    to the metadata mimeType. This matches Google Drive's model where metadata mimeType
    is the target type (what the file should become) while the media Content-Type is the
    source type (what the bytes are).

    This means import conversions now work automatically:

    # Extension inference detects text/markdown → conversion just works
    gws drive files create \
      --json '{"name":"My Doc","mimeType":"application/vnd.google-apps.document"}' \
      --upload notes.md
    
    # Explicit flag still available as an override
    gws drive files create \
      --json '{"name":"My Doc","mimeType":"application/vnd.google-apps.document"}' \
      --upload notes.md \
      --upload-content-type text/markdown

Patch Changes

  • 945ac91: Stream multipart uploads to avoid OOM on large files. File content is now streamed in chunks via ReaderStream instead of being read entirely into memory, reducing memory usage from O(file_size) to O(64 KB).
