Riak CS PUT Object (Copy)

The PUT Object (Copy) creates a copy of an object that is already stored in Riak CS. Adding the x-amz-copy-source HTTP header makes the PUT operation copy the source object into the destination bucket.

Access Permissions

PUT Object (Copy) offers the option to specify the permissions you want to grant to specific accounts or groups for the copied object. You can grant permissions to accounts or groups with request headers, using one of the following two methods:

Specify a predefined ACL using the x-amz-acl request header. More information about predefined ACLs is available here.
Specify access permissions explicitly using the x-amz-grant-read, x-amz-grant-write, x-amz-grant-read-acp, x-amz-grant-write-acp, x-amz-grant-full-control headers, which map to the set of ACL permissions supported by Amazon S3.

Note

You can use either a predefined ACL or specify access permissions explicitly, not both.

Note: You can configure an application to use the 100-continue HTTP status code, which sends the Request Headers prior to sending the request body. Doing so prevents sending the message body when the message is rejected based on the headers, for example, due to authentication failure or redirect).
