Case descriptionCase description

You need to configure Cache-Control headers for objects in a bucket when running HTTP requests.

SolutionSolution

You can add the Cache-Control header to system metadata while uploading or modifying an object in the bucket. For more details about object metadata, see this guide.

To add Cache-Control to a previously uploaded object, you can use the s3cmd utility. To do this, run this command:

s3cmd --add-header 'Cache-Control:max-age=3600' modify s3://<your-bucket-name>/object-name.

To add the Cache-Control header when uploading an object to the bucket using s3cmd, specify --add-header:

s3cmd --add-header 'Cache-Control:max-age=3600' put local_file s3://<your-bucket-name>/object-name.

You can also use AWS CLI to add the Cache-Control header. Example command for AWS CLI:

aws --endpoint-url=https://storage.yandexcloud.net s3 \
cp local_file s3://bucket_name --cache-control 'max-age=3600'
