Payload on 400 error for HEAD requests #624

Closed
opened 2023-08-31 17:02:09 +00:00 by earl-warren · 6 comments

When sending a HEAD /bucket/ request with an incorrect region, the 400 error returned by garage 0.8.2 setup with this script is empty.

The tcpdump output (in full below) has:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
content-type: application/xml
content-length: 252
date: Thu, 31 Aug 2023 16:56:26 GMT

Is this a misconfiguration of garage? It would be helpful to have more information to display to the Forgejo user when they set the wrong region: this is why there is a particular interest in the content of this error.

New discovery : an error response to a HEAD request is not supposed to have a body

I don't think we have specific code to not send the response body if the request is a HEAD, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the hyper http library that removes it automatically to ensure protocol conformance.

This means that the region redirection mechanism cannot work with just a head request, unfortunately... I think it is implemented in the minio client, and maybe in the minio client library, could we look at how they do it?

@gusted looked at it and found some information. I'll try using GET instead see where that gets me.

Using GET the 400 payload is present, you are correct: HEAD hides it somewhere in the codepath.

I'm not sure which way to go to resolve this. I think I'll use a GET request to indirectly assert the region is valid and display a meaningful error message if it does not, using the 400 payload.

But it feels like a hack and there should be a more idiomatic way to do that.

Thoughts?

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_HeadBucket.html

This action is useful to determine if a bucket exists and you have permission to access it. The action returns a 200 OK if the bucket exists and you have permission to access it.

If the bucket does not exist or you do not have permission to access it, the HEAD request returns a generic 400 Bad Request, 403 Forbidden or 404 Not Found code. A message body is not included, so you cannot determine the exception beyond these error codes.

In any case garage behaves like AWS S3 in that instance and this issue can be closed.

What we are still missing is the x-amz-bucket-region though. I'm not sure how it is used by minio to detect the correct region but we should probably add it to garage anyway
