OPTIONS Object

Functions

Differences Between OPTIONS Bucket and OPTIONS Object

With the OPTIONS Object, you need to specify an object name in the URL, but an object name is not required with the OPTIONS Bucket, which uses the bucket domain name as the URL. The request lines of the two methods are as follows:

OPTIONS /object HTTP/1.1

OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1

Bad Request	Insufficient information. Origin request header needed. When CORS and OPTIONS are configured for a bucket, no origin header is added.	400 BadRequest
AccessForbidden	CORSResponse: This CORS request is not allowed. This is usually because the evaluation of Origin, request method/Access-Control-Request-Method or Access-Control-Request-Headers are not whitelisted by the resource's CORS spec.
