Deploy Artifact by Checksum

Description: Deploy an artifact to the specified destination by checking if the artifact content already exists in Artifactory.

If Artifactory already contains a user-readable artifact with the same checksum, the artifact content is copied to the new location and returns a response without requiring content transfer.

Otherwise, a 404 error is returned to indicate that content upload is expected to deploy the artifact.

If the X-Checksum-Deploy header is set to false, the artifact will be uploaded successfully with a 201 response, even if it didn't exist before, and submitted checksums will have the status Uploaded: Identical.

Notes: You can also Attach Properties when deploying artifacts.

Security: Requires a user with Deploy permissions (can be anonymous)

Usage: PUT artifactory/repo-key/path/to/artifact.ext

Headers:

Produces: application/json (application/vnd.org.jfrog.artifactory.storage.ItemCreated+json)
