I want to implement 2 canisters one to upload documents and send it to another canister, but I didn’t find any documentation for how to deal with uploading documents
NB: using rust

# Asset Canister Interface

## Introduction

The asset canister interface provides for storage and retrieval of static assets, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and other media files. It can store different content encodings of an asset's contents, such as `identity` and `gzip`.

A canister that implements this interface can also return dynamic results from the [http_request](#method-http_request) method.

This document is meant to describe the interface with enough detail to aid in understanding how the asset canister works and in interacting with the asset canister at the code level.  It does not describe the interface in sufficient detail to rise to the level of a specification.

This document describes an interface, not an implementation. The IC SDK bundles one such possible implementation, the [IC Frontend Canister](https://github.com/dfinity/sdk/tree/master/src/canisters/frontend/ic-frontend-canister).

For brevity, this document does not reproduce the candid signatures for every method.

If you have the need to store a large number of files or large files, welcome to use ic-oss.
