AWS SDK Version 3 for .NET
API Reference

AWS services or capabilities described in AWS Documentation may vary by region/location. Click Getting Started with Amazon AWS to see specific differences applicable to the China (Beijing) Region.

The HEAD operation retrieves metadata from an object without returning the object itself. This operation is useful if you're only interested in an object's metadata. To use HEAD, you must have READ access to the object.

Note:

This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginGetObjectMetadata and EndGetObjectMetadata. For Unity the operation does not take CancellationToken as a parameter, and instead takes AmazonServiceCallback<GetObjectMetadataRequest, GetObjectMetadataResponse> and AsyncOptions as additional parameters.
