Description: Deploys an archive containing multiple artifacts and extracts it at the specified destination while maintaining the archive's file structure.
Deployment is performed in a single HTTP request. Only the extracted content is deployed, not the archive file itself.
By default, the deployment of artifacts is performed sequentially. However, starting from Artifactory 7.96.3, artifact deployment can be performed in multiple parallel threads using the system parameter artifactory.explode. archive.threads. For example, if you set artifactory.explode. archive.threads = 10, the deployment of the artifacts contained in the archive will be performed in 10 parallel threads per archive file, which can save considerable time for large archive files.
Supported archive types are: zip; tar; tar.gz; and tgz. If the archive is omitted from the call, a response of "100 - Continue" is returned.
Note
Requires Artifactory Pro.
Deployment of compressed archives (unlike tar) may incur considerable CPU overhead.
Security: Requires a user with 'deploy' permissions (can be anonymous)
Usage: PUT path1/to/repo-key/ /path2/to/archive.zip
Headers: X-Explode-Archive: true - archive will be exploded upon deployment, X-Explode-Archive-Atomic: true - archive will be exploded in an atomic operation upon deployment.
