unclear / misleading FAQ for s3 re: checksum

Open abroy77 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Describe the issue

The FAQ page says:

The AWS CLI will calculate and auto-populate the Content-MD5 header for both standard and multipart uploads. If the checksum that S3 calculates does not match the Content-MD5 provided, S3 will not store the object and instead will return an error message back the AWS CLI

I don't think this is accurate. When I upload a file using aws s3 cp file.txt s3://bucket/file.txt I can't see a checksum for the object on the AWS console. Perhaps I have misunderstood the documentation?
