headBucket

inline suspend fun S3Client.headBucket(crossinline block: HeadBucketRequest.Builder.() -> Unit): HeadBucketResponse

You can use this operation to determine if a bucket exists and if you have permission to access it. The action returns a 200 OK HTTP status code if the bucket exists and you have permission to access it. You can make a HeadBucket call on any bucket name to any Region in the partition, and regardless of the permissions on the bucket, you will receive a response header with the correct bucket location so that you can then make a proper, signed request to the appropriate Regional endpoint.

If the bucket doesn't exist or you don't have permission to access it, the HEAD request returns a generic 400 Bad Request, 403 Forbidden, or 404 Not Found HTTP status code. A message body isn't included, so you can't determine the exception beyond these HTTP response codes.

Authentication and authorization

General purpose buckets - Request to public buckets that grant the s3:ListBucket permission publicly do not need to be signed. All other HeadBucket requests must be authenticated and signed by using IAM credentials (access key ID and secret access key for the IAM identities). All headers with the x-amz- prefix, including x-amz-copy-source, must be signed. For more information, see REST Authentication.

Directory buckets - You must use IAM credentials to authenticate and authorize your access to the HeadBucket API operation, instead of using the temporary security credentials through the CreateSession API operation.

Amazon Web Services CLI or SDKs handles authentication and authorization on your behalf.

Permissions

General purpose bucket permissions - To use this operation, you must have permissions to perform the s3:ListBucket action. The bucket owner has this permission by default and can grant this permission to others. For more information about permissions, see Managing access permissions to your Amazon S3 resources in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Directory bucket permissions - You must have the s3express:CreateSession permission in the Action element of a policy. By default, the session is in the ReadWrite mode. If you want to restrict the access, you can explicitly set the s3express:SessionMode condition key to ReadOnly on the bucket.For more information about example bucket policies, see Example bucket policies for S3 Express One Zone and Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) identity-based policies for S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

HTTP Host header syntax

**Directory buckets ** - The HTTP Host header syntax is Bucket-name.s3express-zone-id.region-code.amazonaws.com.

You must make requests for this API operation to the Zonal endpoint. These endpoints support virtual-hosted-style requests in the format https://bucket-name.s3express-zone-id.region-code.amazonaws.com. Path-style requests are not supported. For more information about endpoints in Availability Zones, see Regional and Zonal endpoints for directory buckets in Availability Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide. For more information about endpoints in Local Zones, see Concepts for directory buckets in Local Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

You must URL encode any signed header values that contain spaces. For example, if your header value is my file.txt, containing two spaces after my, you must URL encode this value to my%20%20file.txt.

Samples


fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   // This operation checks to see if a bucket exists.
s3Client.headBucket {
    bucket = "acl1"
} 
   //sampleEnd
