Validate required signed headers for both Authorization-header SigV4 requests and presigned URLs. The required signed header set is now `host` plus every incoming header with the `x-amz-` prefix.
During request reconstruction, signed headers and explicitly ignored headers are copied into the generated request used for signature verification. If an incoming `x-amz-*` header is present but missing from the client-provided `SignedHeaders`, return `AccessDenied` with a `HeadersNotSigned` field. The `host` header remains part of the canonical request and signed header calculation.
Previously, a client could sign a request without an S3 control header and then add that header after signing. For example, a presigned `PUT` URL could be generated with only `host` signed, then the actual request could include an unsigned `X-Amz-Tagging` or `X-Amz-Copy-Source` header. Because the verifier reconstructed the request only from `SignedHeaders`, that extra header was omitted from signature calculation and could pass authentication even though it changed the request semantics. This is now rejected with `AccessDenied`.
Expose v4 helper methods for checking required and ignored headers, and update canonical header signing so ignored headers can still be included when a client explicitly lists them in `SignedHeaders`, while `Authorization` remains excluded from signature calculation.
Browsers throw an opaque TypeError for all network-level failures — CORS
policy violations, TLS/certificate rejections (e.g. self-signed certs), DNS
failures, and unreachable hosts — with no way to distinguish between them.
Asserting "CORS blocked" on every TypeError caused users to chase a CORS
misconfiguration when the real problem was an untrusted certificate or
unreachable gateway. The error message now lists some plausible causes so users
have possible diagnostics regardless of the actual failure mode.
Fixes#2143
The object info modal in the WebUI was always displaying STANDARD as the
storage class regardless of the actual value. The root cause is a browser
CORS restriction: when the WebUI makes a cross-origin HEAD request to the
S3 endpoint, the browser silently drops any response header not listed in
Access-Control-Expose-Headers, causing response.headers.get('x-amz-storage-class')
to return null and the UI to fall back to the hardcoded STANDARD default.
Adding x-amz-storage-class to the default set of exposed headers ensures
the browser makes it available to JavaScript, allowing storage classes such
as GLACIER to be correctly reflected in the UI.
Object key validation allowed internal parent-directory segments such as `public/../private.txt`. Bucket policy and auth checks evaluated the raw key, so a policy allowing bucket/public/* could match the request while posix backend later resolved the key with `filepath.Join` and accessed `bucket/private.txt`.
Add backend-specific object key normalization to close that mismatch. The Backend interface now exposes `NormalizeObjectKey` so authorization can evaluate resources using the same key shape a backend will use for storage access.
Backends that do not collapse object paths, including Azure and the S3 proxy, inherit `BackendUnsupported.NormalizeObjectKey`. That implementation returns the input key unchanged, avoiding unnecessary normalization and keeping policy evaluation unpolluted for object stores where ../ is part of the key name.
posix/scoutfs normalize keys with filepath.Join so policy resources and request keys are compared after internal dot segments are collapsed.
Bucket policy evaluation now normalizes both the incoming object key and object resource patterns from the policy before matching. Object lock governance bypass policy checks use the same backend normalizer as well, so retention and legal hold authorization cannot diverge from backend path resolution.
Move the runGateway implementation from cmd/versitygw/main.go into a
new embedgw package, exposing RunVersityGW(ctx, Backend, *Config) and a
Config struct. This allows external applications to embed and run the
VersityGW S3 gateway as a library.
Fix the gateway panic when validating malformed bucket ownership controls bodies with no rules. The handler now checks the rules count before indexing the first rule.
Validate multipart PostObject key fields with the existing object name rules so path traversal and degenerate names return BadRequest. This prevents crafted object keys from escaping the gateway root.
Distinguish public bucket policy no-match from explicit deny during anonymous access checks. This preserves ACL fallback only for requests that are not allowed by policy, while ensuring a matching Deny statement short-circuits authorization and returns AccessDenied even when a public ACL would otherwise grant access.

Refactor global S3 error handling around structured error types and centralized XML response generation.
All S3 errors now share the common APIError base for the fields every error has: Code, HTTP status code, and Message. Non-traditional errors that need AWS-compatible XML fields now have dedicated typed errors in the s3err package. Each typed error implements the shared S3Error behavior so controllers and middleware can handle errors consistently while still emitting error-specific XML fields.
Add a dedicated InvalidArgumentError type because InvalidArgument is used widely across request validation, auth, copy source handling, object lock validation, multipart validation, and header parsing. The new InvalidArgument path uses explicit InvalidArgErrorCode constants with predefined descriptions and ArgumentName values, keeping call sites readable while preserving the correct InvalidArgument XML shape and optional ArgumentValue.
New structured errors added in s3err:
- `AccessForbiddenError`: Method, ResourceType
- `BadDigestError`: CalculatedDigest, ExpectedDigest
- `BucketError`: BucketName
- `ContentSHA256MismatchError`: ClientComputedContentSHA256, S3ComputedContentSHA256
- `EntityTooLargeError`: ProposedSize, MaxSizeAllowed
- `EntityTooSmallError`: ProposedSize, MinSizeAllowed
- `ExpiredPresignedURLError`: ServerTime, XAmzExpires, Expires
- `InvalidAccessKeyIdError`: AWSAccessKeyId
- `InvalidArgumentError`: Description, ArgumentName, ArgumentValue
- `InvalidChunkSizeError`: Chunk, BadChunkSize
- `InvalidDigestError`: ContentMD5
- `InvalidLocationConstraintError`: LocationConstraint
- `InvalidPartError`: UploadId, PartNumber, ETag
- `InvalidRangeError`: RangeRequested, ActualObjectSize
- `InvalidTagError`: TagKey, TagValue
- `KeyTooLongError`: Size, MaxSizeAllowed
- `MetadataTooLargeError`: Size, MaxSizeAllowed
- `MethodNotAllowedError`: Method, ResourceType, AllowedMethods
- `NoSuchUploadError`: UploadId
- `NoSuchVersionError`: Key, VersionId
- `NotImplementedError`: Header, AdditionalMessage
- `PreconditionFailedError`: Condition
- `RequestTimeTooSkewedError`: RequestTime, ServerTime, MaxAllowedSkewMilliseconds
- `SignatureDoesNotMatchError`: AWSAccessKeyId, StringToSign, SignatureProvided, StringToSignBytes, CanonicalRequest, CanonicalRequestBytes
Fix CompleteMultipartUpload validation in the Azure backend so missing or empty `ETag` values return the appropriate S3 error instead of allowing a gateway panic.
Fix presigned authentication expiration validation to compare server time in `UTC`, matching the `UTC` timestamp used by presigned URL signing.
Add request ID and host ID support across S3 requests. Each request now receives AWS S3-like identifiers, returned in response headers as `x-amz-request-id` and `x-amz-id-2` and included in all XML error responses as RequestId and HostId. The generated ID structure is designed to resemble AWS S3 request IDs and host IDs.
The request signature calculation/validation for streaming uploads was previously delayed until the request body was fully read, both for Authorization header authentication and presigned URLs.
Now, the signature is validated immediately in the authorization middlewares without reading the request body, since the signature calculation itself does not depend on the request body. Instead, only the `x-amz-content-sha256` SHA-256 hash calculation is delayed.
window.location.hash returns the hash percent-encoded by the browser,
so a prefix like "X Y/" is read back as "X%20Y/" (literal %20).
Without decoding, all subsequent operations (list, upload, create
folder) used the encoded string, causing the server to look
for a directory named "X%20Y/" instead of "X Y/" — resulting in empty
listings and uploads landing in a newly created "X%20Y/" directory.
Fix by calling decodeURIComponent() on the hash before splitting into
bucket and prefix parts.
Fixes#2098
Directories that exist on the filesystem but were not explicitly created
via S3 (put-object with a key ending in '/') do not have an etag
value. ListObjectsV2 already uses the presence of this attribute to
decide whether to include a directory as an object. GetObject and
HeadObject were not performing this check, so they would successfully
return directories that ListObjectsV2 would not list.
Add the etag attribute check in GetObject and HeadObject: if a
directory path is requested but has no etag xattr, return 404. This
makes all three operations agree on which directories are S3 objects.
Fixes#2130
Store multipart upload metadata through shared backend helpers so POSIX and Azure use the same encode/decode path. POSIX stores raw gzipped JSON in metadata stores, while Azure stores base64-encoded gzip for string metadata. Retrieval falls back to the legacy raw JSON format for existing objects. Storing the mp metadata compressed in posix will guarantee that for any allowed number of parts, the metadata won't exceed the xattr threshold(64KB).
The gateway currently supports only Signature Version 4 (SigV4) authorization. Deprecated AWS SigV2 requests are now rejected with an AWS-specific `InvalidRequest` error for both Authorization-header requests and query-string requests(presigned URLs).
This also fixes SigV4 Authorization-header handling for date headers. SigV4 accepts two date headers: `Date` and `X-Amz-Date`. `X-Amz-Date` takes precedence, but when it is missing, `Date` should be used. The gateway now uses the `Date` header with lower precedence when `X-Amz-Date` is not present. No SDK integration test was added for this case because the SDK always sets `X-Amz-Date`, and this behavior is not configurable.
Remove the client-side search that filtered already-loaded objects by
name. Replace it with a prefix input that is appended to the current
path prefix and passed directly to the S3 ListObjectsV2 API, so
filtering is performed server-side and works correctly across all pages.
