Sometimes you may need to apply pre-defined set of http headers automatically when you upload files to Amazon S3. For example Expires header.

Since version 2.9.9 S3 Browser allows you to apply default http headers automatically.

Below we will show you how to define default http headers in S3 Browser.

Click Tools -> Default Http Headers

Click Tools -> default http headers to configure default http headers.

Default Http Headers dialog will appear

Default http headers dialog

Here you can view, edit and delete pre-defined http headers. You can configure header to be applied for specific bucket(s) and/or file(s) only.

For example if you need to apply Expires header only to *.png files in a bucket called production-images you will need to add the following default http header:

• Bucket: production-images
• File name: *.png
• header name: Expires
• header value: Fri, 17 Jun 2011 12:45:47 GMT

As you see wildcards are allowed to use in bucket name and in file name.

Click the Add button

Click the Add button to add new default http header.

Add New Default Http Headers dialog will appear

Add New Default Http Headers dialog

Fill out Bucket name, File name, Header name and Header value and click Add new header.

Bucket name and File name are optional fields. If you will leave them empty, S3 Browser will apply this header for any file you upload to any bucket.

Select the header you want to edit and click the Edit button

Click the Edit button to edit http headers.

Edit Default Http Headers dialog will appear
