The value of the Location header provides a URL for a service that will return the current state of the copy operation. You can use this information to determine when the copy has finished.

Remarks

In many cases the copy action is performed asynchronously. The response from the API will only indicate that the copy operation was accepted or rejected; for example, due to the destination filename already being in use.
