URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

Bucket

The bucket name that contains the object you want to apply this Object Retention configuration to.

When using this action with an access point, 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 Amazon 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.

Required: Yes

Content-MD5

The MD5 hash for the request body.

For requests made using the Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI) or Amazon SDKs, this field is calculated automatically.

Key

The key name for the object that you want to apply this Object Retention configuration to.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.

Required: Yes

The version ID for the object that you want to apply this Object Retention configuration to.

x-amz-bypass-governance-retention

Indicates whether this action should bypass Governance-mode restrictions.

x-amz-expected-bucket-owner

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the bucket is owned by a different account, 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. For information about downloading objects from Requester Pays buckets, see Downloading Objects in Requester Pays Buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

x-amz-sdk-checksum-algorithm

Indicates the algorithm used to create the checksum for the object when using the SDK. This header will not provide any additional functionality if not using the SDK. When sending this header, there must be a corresponding x-amz-checksum or x-amz-trailer header sent. Otherwise, Amazon S3 fails the request with the HTTP status code 400 Bad Request. For more information, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

If you provide an individual checksum, Amazon S3 ignores any provided ChecksumAlgorithm parameter.

Valid Values: CRC32 | CRC32C | SHA1 | SHA256
