problem with creating virtual directory object on S3 China (Beijing) region #643
Description
Hi,
I'm working with the aws-sdk-cpp with the China region, Beijing (cn-north-1), S3 service. I'm trying to create a virtual directory (an empty object which its name ends with slash. e.g. 'my_dir/' sized 0 bytes). S3 Browser shows this as a directory. and i need the ability to have directories tree with some empty directories (otherwise, if part of object name is slash it is already shown as directory e.g. my_dir/a.dat is shown as directory named 'my_dir' and a file named 'a.dat' within this directory).
When trying to create such empty object, with name ending with slash, I get a strange error, that my credentials are bad (though I use valid credentials).
I tried to create an object named 'test_ufs_mkdir.1503820374/' and got an error:
error code ;
error message
error is Non Retriable
This code works fine on other regions, but fails on this specific Bijing region (cn-north-1).
Any idea?
Thanks.

Is your credentials purposely created for Chinese region only?

Hi,
I don't know (as I got the credentials from someone else at company), but I think it is for China only.
The credentials are OK, as I succeeded to upload regular files to S3. It only gives error for files which their name end with '/'

Hi, AWS in China is operated by Beijing Sinnet Technology Co., Ltd.(“Sinnet”), I guess some behavior may be different, and I am requesting an AWS in China account to reproduce this problem.
And for now, have you tried to create a empty object named
my_dir/""? It works just likemy_dir/in other regions, but I am not sure if it works for China region.If that still does not work, I would recommend to create an "empty" directory by creating an empty dummy file under you directory. For example, in you case, you could create an object named
test_ufs_mkdir.1503820374/.dummy.Eliyahu-Machluf commentedon Aug 30, 2017
Hi,
I've just now tried again the same code, and for my surprise, it worked, and I succeeded to create an empty object with forward slash as suffix (e.g. "my_dir/"). I did not change anything at my code, I simply run again the test utility which previously failed to create the object and now succeeded.
