The Aurora Engine supports the most popular archive formats via the score and explain APIs. For archives that require a password, the password must be passed to the Aurora Engine for extraction.

You can specify passwords in the activity sections of the Configuration file for the Aurora Engine or pass them as part of the API URI. When passing via the URI, the syntax is the same as described in Passwords specified for archives:

PUT /apiv1/score?pw=foo
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Lenth: <length>

<binary data>

If the archive cannot be opened with the given passwords or with the passwords in the configuration file, an error is returned.
