I have uploaded a number of directories that contain images, what is the correct way to modify the content-type to "image/jpeg" without having to re-upload the images?
I tried:
s3cmd modify s3://ccc-public/catalog/cropped/EP01L.jpg --add-header="Cache-Control:max-age=1296000" --mime-type="image/jpeg" --recursive -vvv
but the Content-Type always comes as binary/octet-stream
any advise much appreciated
s3cmd has recently (as in, this past weekend) fixed this, but the code is not yet upstream. Please try with this branch:
https://github.com/mdomsch/s3cmd/tree/bug/content-type
With a little more testing, this will get merged into upstream.
Then, your command should work exactly as you expect. -mdomsch, s3cmd maintainer
These days, it is recommended to use the official Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI).
The aws s3 cp command includes options for specifying mime-type, but by default the mime type of a file is guessed when it is uploaded.
Ran into this recently as well and used some of the info here How can i change AWS S3 content type only for audio files
For us, it came down to ensuring that you change the content-type with the following
--add-header='content-type':'image/png'
I want to emphasize using the lower case content-type vs Content-Type here. That's what ended up making a difference.
