HeadObject - Amazon Simple Storage Service

HeadObject

The HEAD operation retrieves metadata from an object without returning the object itself. This operation is useful if you're interested only in an object's metadata.

Note

A HEAD request has the same options as a GET operation on an object. The response is identical to the GET response except that there is no response body. Because of this, if the HEAD request generates an error, it returns a generic code, such as 400 Bad Request, 403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found, 405 Method Not Allowed, 412 Precondition Failed, or 304 Not Modified. It's not possible to retrieve the exact exception of these error codes.

Request headers are limited to 8 KB in size. For more information, see Common Request Headers.

Permissions

  • General purpose bucket permissions - To use HEAD, you must have the s3:GetObject permission. You need the relevant read object (or version) permission for this operation. For more information, see Actions, resources, and condition keys for Amazon S3 in the Amazon S3 User Guide. For more information about the permissions to S3 API operations by S3 resource types, see Required permissions for Amazon S3 API operations in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

    If the object you request doesn't exist, the error that Amazon S3 returns depends on whether you also have the s3:ListBucket permission.

    • If you have the s3:ListBucket permission on the bucket, Amazon S3 returns an HTTP status code 404 Not Found error.

    • If you don’t have the s3:ListBucket permission, Amazon S3 returns an HTTP status code 403 Forbidden error.

  • Directory bucket permissions - To grant access to this API operation on a directory bucket, we recommend that you use the CreateSession API operation for session-based authorization. Specifically, you grant the s3express:CreateSession permission to the directory bucket in a bucket policy or an IAM identity-based policy. Then, you make the CreateSession API call on the bucket to obtain a session token. With the session token in your request header, you can make API requests to this operation. After the session token expires, you make another CreateSession API call to generate a new session token for use. AWS CLI or SDKs create session and refresh the session token automatically to avoid service interruptions when a session expires. For more information about authorization, see CreateSession.

    If you enable x-amz-checksum-mode in the request and the object is encrypted with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), you must also have the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt permissions in IAM identity-based policies and AWS KMS key policies for the AWS KMS key to retrieve the checksum of the object.

Encryption
Note

Encryption request headers, like x-amz-server-side-encryption, should not be sent for HEAD requests if your object uses server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys (SSE-KMS), dual-layer server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (DSSE-KMS), or server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). The x-amz-server-side-encryption header is used when you PUT an object to S3 and want to specify the encryption method. If you include this header in a HEAD request for an object that uses these types of keys, you’ll get an HTTP 400 Bad Request error. It's because the encryption method can't be changed when you retrieve the object.

If you encrypt an object by using server-side encryption with customer-provided encryption keys (SSE-C) when you store the object in Amazon S3, then when you retrieve the metadata from the object, you must use the following headers to provide the encryption key for the server to be able to retrieve the object's metadata. The headers are:

  • x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm

  • x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key

  • x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5

For more information about SSE-C, see Server-Side Encryption (Using Customer-Provided Encryption Keys) in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Note

Directory bucket - For directory buckets, there are only two supported options for server-side encryption: SSE-S3 and SSE-KMS. SSE-C isn't supported. For more information, see Protecting data with server-side encryption in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Versioning
  • If the current version of the object is a delete marker, Amazon S3 behaves as if the object was deleted and includes x-amz-delete-marker: true in the response.

  • If the specified version is a delete marker, the response returns a 405 Method Not Allowed error and the Last-Modified: timestamp response header.

Note
  • Directory buckets - Delete marker is not supported for directory buckets.

  • Directory buckets - S3 Versioning isn't enabled and supported for directory buckets. For this API operation, only the null value of the version ID is supported by directory buckets. You can only specify null to the versionId query parameter in the request.

HTTP Host header syntax

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

Note

For directory buckets, 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/key-name . 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.

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

Bucket

The name of the bucket that contains the object.

Directory buckets - When you use this operation with a directory bucket, you must use virtual-hosted-style requests in the format Bucket-name.s3express-zone-id.region-code.amazonaws.com. Path-style requests are not supported. Directory bucket names must be unique in the chosen Zone (Availability Zone or Local Zone). Bucket names must follow the format bucket-base-name--zone-id--x-s3 (for example, DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET--usw2-az1--x-s3). For information about bucket naming restrictions, see Directory bucket naming rules in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Access points - When you use this action with an access point, you must provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name or specify the access point ARN. When using the access point ARN, you must direct requests to the access point hostname. The access point hostname takes the form AccessPointName-AccountId.s3-accesspoint.Region.amazonaws.com. When using this action with an access point through the AWS SDKs, you provide the access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about access point ARNs, see Using access points in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Note

Access points and Object Lambda access points are not supported by directory buckets.

S3 on Outposts - When you use this action with Amazon S3 on Outposts, you must direct requests to the S3 on Outposts hostname. The S3 on Outposts hostname takes the form AccessPointName-AccountId.outpostID.s3-outposts.Region.amazonaws.com. When you use this action with S3 on Outposts through the AWS SDKs, you provide the Outposts access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about S3 on Outposts ARNs, see What is S3 on Outposts? in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Required: Yes

If-Match

Return the object only if its entity tag (ETag) is the same as the one specified; otherwise, return a 412 (precondition failed) error.

If both of the If-Match and If-Unmodified-Since headers are present in the request as follows:

  • If-Match condition evaluates to true, and;

  • If-Unmodified-Since condition evaluates to false;

Then Amazon S3 returns 200 OK and the data requested.

For more information about conditional requests, see RFC 7232.

If-Modified-Since

Return the object only if it has been modified since the specified time; otherwise, return a 304 (not modified) error.

If both of the If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers are present in the request as follows:

  • If-None-Match condition evaluates to false, and;

  • If-Modified-Since condition evaluates to true;

Then Amazon S3 returns the 304 Not Modified response code.

For more information about conditional requests, see RFC 7232.

If-None-Match

Return the object only if its entity tag (ETag) is different from the one specified; otherwise, return a 304 (not modified) error.

If both of the If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers are present in the request as follows:

  • If-None-Match condition evaluates to false, and;

  • If-Modified-Since condition evaluates to true;

Then Amazon S3 returns the 304 Not Modified response code.

For more information about conditional requests, see RFC 7232.

If-Unmodified-Since

Return the object only if it has not been modified since the specified time; otherwise, return a 412 (precondition failed) error.

If both of the If-Match and If-Unmodified-Since headers are present in the request as follows:

  • If-Match condition evaluates to true, and;

  • If-Unmodified-Since condition evaluates to false;

Then Amazon S3 returns 200 OK and the data requested.

For more information about conditional requests, see RFC 7232.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.

Required: Yes

partNumber

Part number of the object being read. This is a positive integer between 1 and 10,000. Effectively performs a 'ranged' HEAD request for the part specified. Useful querying about the size of the part and the number of parts in this object.

Range

HeadObject returns only the metadata for an object. If the Range is satisfiable, only the ContentLength is affected in the response. If the Range is not satisfiable, S3 returns a 416 - Requested Range Not Satisfiable error.

response-cache-control

Sets the Cache-Control header of the response.

response-content-disposition

Sets the Content-Disposition header of the response.

response-content-encoding

Sets the Content-Encoding header of the response.

versionId

Version ID used to reference a specific version of the object.

Note

For directory buckets in this API operation, only the null value of the version ID is supported.

x-amz-checksum-mode

To retrieve the checksum, this parameter must be enabled.

General purpose buckets - If you enable checksum mode and the object is uploaded with a checksum and encrypted with an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) key, you must have permission to use the kms:Decrypt action to retrieve the checksum.

Directory buckets - If you enable ChecksumMode and the object is encrypted with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), you must also have the kms:GenerateDataKey and kms:Decrypt permissions in IAM identity-based policies and AWS KMS key policies for the AWS KMS key to retrieve the checksum of the object.

Valid Values: ENABLED

x-amz-expected-bucket-owner

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the account ID that you provide does not match the actual owner of the bucket, the request fails with the HTTP status code 403 Forbidden (access denied).

x-amz-request-payer

Confirms that the requester knows that they will be charged for the request. Bucket owners need not specify this parameter in their requests. If either the source or destination S3 bucket has Requester Pays enabled, the requester will pay for corresponding charges to copy the object. For information about downloading objects from Requester Pays buckets, see Downloading Objects in Requester Pays Buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Valid Values: requester

x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm

Specifies the algorithm to use when encrypting the object (for example, AES256).

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key

Specifies the customer-provided encryption key for Amazon S3 to use in encrypting data. This value is used to store the object and then it is discarded; Amazon S3 does not store the encryption key. The key must be appropriate for use with the algorithm specified in the x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm header.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5

Specifies the 128-bit MD5 digest of the encryption key according to RFC 1321. Amazon S3 uses this header for a message integrity check to ensure that the encryption key was transmitted without error.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-archive-status

The archive state of the head object.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Valid Values: ARCHIVE_ACCESS | DEEP_ARCHIVE_ACCESS

x-amz-checksum-crc32

The base64-encoded, 32-bit CRC-32 checksum of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use an API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

x-amz-checksum-crc32c

The base64-encoded, 32-bit CRC-32C checksum of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use an API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

x-amz-checksum-sha1

The base64-encoded, 160-bit SHA-1 digest of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use the API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

x-amz-checksum-sha256

The base64-encoded, 256-bit SHA-256 digest of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use an API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

x-amz-delete-marker

Specifies whether the object retrieved was (true) or was not (false) a Delete Marker. If false, this response header does not appear in the response.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-expiration

If the object expiration is configured (see PutBucketLifecycleConfiguration), the response includes this header. It includes the expiry-date and rule-id key-value pairs providing object expiration information. The value of the rule-id is URL-encoded.

Note

Object expiration information is not returned in directory buckets and this header returns the value "NotImplemented" in all responses for directory buckets.

x-amz-missing-meta

This is set to the number of metadata entries not returned in x-amz-meta headers. This can happen if you create metadata using an API like SOAP that supports more flexible metadata than the REST API. For example, using SOAP, you can create metadata whose values are not legal HTTP headers.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-mp-parts-count

The count of parts this object has. This value is only returned if you specify partNumber in your request and the object was uploaded as a multipart upload.

x-amz-object-lock-legal-hold

Specifies whether a legal hold is in effect for this object. This header is only returned if the requester has the s3:GetObjectLegalHold permission. This header is not returned if the specified version of this object has never had a legal hold applied. For more information about S3 Object Lock, see Object Lock.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Valid Values: ON | OFF

x-amz-object-lock-mode

The Object Lock mode, if any, that's in effect for this object. This header is only returned if the requester has the s3:GetObjectRetention permission. For more information about S3 Object Lock, see Object Lock.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Valid Values: GOVERNANCE | COMPLIANCE

x-amz-object-lock-retain-until-date

The date and time when the Object Lock retention period expires. This header is only returned if the requester has the s3:GetObjectRetention permission.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-replication-status

Amazon S3 can return this header if your request involves a bucket that is either a source or a destination in a replication rule.

In replication, you have a source bucket on which you configure replication and destination bucket or buckets where Amazon S3 stores object replicas. When you request an object (GetObject) or object metadata (HeadObject) from these buckets, Amazon S3 will return the x-amz-replication-status header in the response as follows:

  • If requesting an object from the source bucket, Amazon S3 will return the x-amz-replication-status header if the object in your request is eligible for replication.

    For example, suppose that in your replication configuration, you specify object prefix TaxDocs requesting Amazon S3 to replicate objects with key prefix TaxDocs. Any objects you upload with this key name prefix, for example TaxDocs/document1.pdf, are eligible for replication. For any object request with this key name prefix, Amazon S3 will return the x-amz-replication-status header with value PENDING, COMPLETED or FAILED indicating object replication status.

  • If requesting an object from a destination bucket, Amazon S3 will return the x-amz-replication-status header with value REPLICA if the object in your request is a replica that Amazon S3 created and there is no replica modification replication in progress.

  • When replicating objects to multiple destination buckets, the x-amz-replication-status header acts differently. The header of the source object will only return a value of COMPLETED when replication is successful to all destinations. The header will remain at value PENDING until replication has completed for all destinations. If one or more destinations fails replication the header will return FAILED.

For more information, see Replication.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Valid Values: COMPLETE | PENDING | FAILED | REPLICA | COMPLETED

x-amz-request-charged

If present, indicates that the requester was successfully charged for the request.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

Valid Values: requester

x-amz-restore

If the object is an archived object (an object whose storage class is GLACIER), the response includes this header if either the archive restoration is in progress (see RestoreObject or an archive copy is already restored.

If an archive copy is already restored, the header value indicates when Amazon S3 is scheduled to delete the object copy. For example:

x-amz-restore: ongoing-request="false", expiry-date="Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT"

If the object restoration is in progress, the header returns the value ongoing-request="true".

For more information about archiving objects, see Transitioning Objects: General Considerations.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets. Only the S3 Express One Zone storage class is supported by directory buckets to store objects.

x-amz-server-side-encryption

The server-side encryption algorithm used when you store this object in Amazon S3 (for example, AES256, aws:kms, aws:kms:dsse).

Valid Values: AES256 | aws:kms | aws:kms:dsse

x-amz-server-side-encryption-aws-kms-key-id

If present, indicates the ID of the KMS key that was used for object encryption.

x-amz-server-side-encryption-bucket-key-enabled

Indicates whether the object uses an S3 Bucket Key for server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys (SSE-KMS).

x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm

If server-side encryption with a customer-provided encryption key was requested, the response will include this header to confirm the encryption algorithm that's used.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5

If server-side encryption with a customer-provided encryption key was requested, the response will include this header to provide the round-trip message integrity verification of the customer-provided encryption key.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-storage-class

Provides storage class information of the object. Amazon S3 returns this header for all objects except for S3 Standard storage class objects.

For more information, see Storage Classes.

Note

Directory buckets - Only the S3 Express One Zone storage class is supported by directory buckets to store objects.

Valid Values: STANDARD | REDUCED_REDUNDANCY | STANDARD_IA | ONEZONE_IA | INTELLIGENT_TIERING | GLACIER | DEEP_ARCHIVE | OUTPOSTS | GLACIER_IR | SNOW | EXPRESS_ONEZONE

x-amz-version-id

Version ID of the object.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

x-amz-website-redirect-location

If the bucket is configured as a website, redirects requests for this object to another object in the same bucket or to an external URL. Amazon S3 stores the value of this header in the object metadata.

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
