Example: GET Object The following example gets the first 10 bytes of an object (test.txt) from examplebucket. For more information about the API action, see GetObject.

GET /test.txt HTTP/1.1 Host: examplebucket.s3.amazonaws.com Authorization: SignatureToBeCalculated Range: bytes=0-9 x-amz-content-sha256:e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 x-amz-date: 20130524T000000Z Because this GET request does not provide any body content, the x-amz-content-sha256 value can either be the hash of the empty request body or the literal string "UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD". The following steps show signature calculations and construction of the Authorization header using the hash of an empty string.

In the canonical request string, the last line is the hash of the empty request body. The third line is empty because there are no query parameters in the request.

Example: PUT Object This example PUT request creates an object (test$file.text) in examplebucket . The example assumes the following:

You are requesting REDUCED_REDUNDANCY as the storage class by adding the x-amz-storage-class request header. For information about storage classes, see Storage Classes in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.

The content of the uploaded file is a string, "Welcome to Amazon S3." The value of x-amz-content-sha256 in the request is based on this string.

For information about the API action, see PutObject.

The x-amz-content-sha256 canonical header may optionally be signed since its payload hash is already provided at the bottom of the request. The last line is the hash of the body, which should be the same as the x-amz-content-sha256 header value sent to S3 in the HTTP request.
