Problem description

The fields in the Authorization header are in invalid formats.

Causes

You initiated a request that used the Amazon S3-compatible V4 signature, but the fields in the Authorization header are in invalid formats.

Examples

The following code provides request that uses the S3-compatible V4 signature. The Authorization header has fields in invalid formats.

GET /test.txt HTTP/1.0
Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2022 08:48:18 GMT
Host: oss-example.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com
Authorization:AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=LTAI****************/20221220/us-east-1/s3/aws4_requestSignedHeaders=host;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-dateSignature=ab2s********************
x-amz-content-sha256: abc***
x-amz-date: 20221220T084818Z

You must include the Credential, SignedHeaders, and Signature fields in the Authorization header. Separate the fields with commas (,). In the preceding example, the Credential and SignedHeaders fields are not separated by commas (,).

Solutions

Make sure that the Authorization header is complete and is in the valid format.
