Object Storage Service:0017-00000134

Last Updated:Nov 05, 2025

Problem description

The date value provided for the x-oss-user-last-modified request header is invalid.

Cause

This error occurs if the date value specified for the x-oss-user-last-modified request header is earlier than or equal to 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

OSS requires this value to be later than 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC because the system uses a UNIX timestamp, which starts at 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

Example

In the following request, the value of x-oss-user-last-modified is "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT". This value is invalid because it must be later than 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

Solution

Ensure that the value of the x-oss-user-last-modified request header is later than 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

Correct example:

PUT /example-object.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: example-bucket.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com
Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2024 10:30:00 GMT
x-oss-user-last-modified: Wed, 15 Mar 2024 08:20:30 GMT
Content-Length: 1234
Authorization: OSS LTAI****************:miAo****************

Key requirements:

  • The date format must comply with the HTTP date format (RFC 2616), such as Wed, 15 Mar 2024 08:20:30 GMT.

  • The date value must be later than 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

  • If you do not need to specify the last modified time, you can omit this request header. In this case, OSS uses the actual time of the upload or modification.
