• Cause: The request does not use chunked encoding or does not contain the Content-Length header.
• Solution: Use chunked encoding to encode request headers or include the Content-Length header in the request.

ObjectNotAppendable

• Error message: The object is not appendable.
• Cause: You have performed the AppendObject operation on an object that is not uploaded by using append upload.
• Solution: Check the type of the object on which you want to perform the AppendObject operation.
