The CacheDescriptor_array contains the following information <streamid>:<filename>:<contentid>:<filesize> where,
streamid—Specifies the unique content ID from the Stage1 response.
filename—Specifies the name of the file from the Stage1 response.
contentid—Same as streamid.
filesize—Specifies size of the file to be uploaded in bytes (Optional).
The response from Stage2 contains information about the streamId, size of the file created, and encoded CachedContentDescriptor, which is used in Stage3 for uploading content to the document.
