The REST Error Response

Topics

If a REST request results in an error, the HTTP reply has:

  • An XML error document as the response body
  • Content-Type: application/xml
  • An appropriate 3xx, 4xx, or 5xx HTTP status code

Following is an example of a REST Error Response.

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2. <Error>
3. <Code>NoSuchKey</Code>
4. <Message>The resource you requested does not exist</Message>
5. <Resource>/mybucket/myfoto.jpg</Resource>
6. <RequestId>4442587FB7D0A2F9</RequestId>
7. </Error>
