When Amazon SNS sends a subscription confirmation, notification, or unsubscribe
confirmation message to HTTP/HTTPS endpoints, it sends a POST message with a number of
Amazon SNS-specific header values. You can use header values for such tasks as identifying
the message type without having to parse the JSON message body to read the
Type value. By default, Amazon SNS sends all the notification to HTTP/S
endpoints with Content-Type set to text/plain; charset=UTF-8.
To choose a Content-Type other than text/plain (default), see
headerContentType in Creating an HTTP/S delivery policy.
x-amz-sns-message-type-
The type of message. The possible values are
SubscriptionConfirmation,Notification, andUnsubscribeConfirmation. x-amz-sns-message-id-
A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), unique for each message published. For a notification that Amazon SNS resends during a retry, the message ID of the original message is used.
x-amz-sns-topic-arn-
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the topic that this message was published to.
x-amz-sns-subscription-arn-
The ARN for the subscription to this endpoint.
The following HTTP POST header is an example of a header for a
Notification message to an HTTP endpoint.
