Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a scalable object storage service offered by AWS. It is designed to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. S3 is commonly used for backup and archiving, content storage and distribution, and data lakes.
When working with S3, you might encounter the InvalidRange error. This error occurs when a request specifies a range that is not satisfiable for the object in question. This typically happens when the range specified in the HTTP request is outside the bounds of the object size.
The primary symptom of this issue is receiving an HTTP 416 status code along with an error message indicating that the requested range is not satisfiable. This can disrupt the retrieval of object data, especially when attempting to download parts of a file.
The InvalidRange error is triggered when the range specified in the HTTP request header does not match the available byte range of the object stored in S3. For example, if an object is 1000 bytes in size and a request is made for bytes 1000-2000, this will result in an InvalidRange error.
To resolve the InvalidRange error, follow these steps:
First, check the size of the object in S3. You can do this by accessing the S3 console or using the AWS CLI:
aws s3api head-object --bucket <bucket-name> --key <object-key>
This command will return metadata about the object, including its size.
Ensure that the range specified in your request is within the bounds of the object size. For example, if the object is 1000 bytes, a valid range would be bytes=0-999.
Update your HTTP request to specify a valid range. Here is an example of a valid range request using cURL:
curl -H "Range: bytes=0-499" https://<bucket-name>.s3.amazonaws.com/<object-key>
For more information on handling range requests in S3, refer to the AWS S3 GetObject API documentation. Additionally, you can explore the AWS S3 User Guide on Range GETs for more detailed examples and use cases.
