New Amazon S3 Features

Voiced by Polly

An upgrade to the Amazon S3 API was released earlier today. The new features include:

  • Virtual Hosting – S3 now respects the HTTP Host header, mapping buckets to a subdomain of s3.amazonaws.com. More information can be found here.
  • Hierarchical Listing of Keys – It is now possible to group the listing of a buckets keys using a specified delimiter.
  • Header Control – It is now possible to control the contents of the Content-Encoding header, along with several other HTTP entity headers.
  • Bug Fixes – Improved support for the use of Unicode characters in keys.

More details can be found in this forum post.
