GetBucketAccelerateConfiguration

GetBucketAccelerateConfiguration reports whether transfer acceleration is switched on for a bucket. Transfer acceleration is not part of STRG, so there is never anything to report: the operation checks that the bucket exists and answers with an empty AccelerateConfiguration document - the same answer Amazon S3 gives for a bucket whose acceleration state has never been set. Some tools ask about transfer acceleration while describing a bucket or before an upload, and with this answer they carry on as usual.

Good to know on STRG

• Transfer acceleration is not part of STRG, so the answer never contains a Status.
• PutBucketAccelerateConfiguration is answered with 501 NotImplemented, so a client knows straight away.
• x-amz-expected-bucket-owner and x-amz-request-payer are welcome and make no difference: a key only ever reaches buckets of its own account, and there are no requester-pays buckets.

When you'd use it

• Tools that describe a bucket. Infrastructure-as-code tools and inventory scripts written for Amazon S3 read every bucket setting they know about, acceleration included. On STRG the request succeeds with the never-configured answer, so the description completes without errors.
• Upload tools that check for acceleration first. A client that looks up the acceleration state before deciding which endpoint to upload to learns that it is not enabled, and uploads to the bucket's regional endpoint as usual.

Request

GET /?accelerate HTTP/1.1
Host: my-bucket.s3.eu-central-1.strg.com
Authorization: AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=...
x-amz-date: 20260926T120000Z
x-amz-content-sha256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

The path-style form is GET /my-bucket?accelerate on s3.eu-central-1.strg.com - Addressing explains both.

Permissions

The access key needs Read bucket settings (buckets:read-config). Every access key holds it, whether it covers all buckets or only some - a key scoped to specific buckets reads only those. Access keys has the details.

URI parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
Bucket	String	Yes	The bucket whose acceleration state to read.
accelerate	Flag	Yes	Selects this operation. Sent with no value.

Any other query parameter is answered with 501 NotImplemented, so a client knows straight away that it has no effect here.

Request headers

Name	Type	Required	Description
x-amz-expected-bucket-owner	String	No	Welcome, with nothing to check: an access key only ever reaches its own account's buckets.
x-amz-request-payer	String	No	Welcome, and makes no difference: there are no requester-pays buckets on STRG.

Request body

None.

Response

A successful request answers 200 OK with an XML body.

Response headers

Name	Description
Content-Type	application/xml.
x-amz-request-id	The request ID, handy for a support request.
x-amz-request-charged	Not sent, as there are no requester-pays buckets on STRG.

Response body

The document has one element, and it is always empty:

Element	Type	Description
AccelerateConfiguration	Container	The root element. Always empty on STRG.
Status	String	Not sent. Amazon S3 answers Enabled or Suspended here once acceleration has been configured.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AccelerateConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/"/>

Errors

These are the errors this request can return, and the situation behind each one.

Code	HTTP status	When
NoSuchBucket	404	The bucket does not exist, belongs to another account, is in a region other than the endpoint's, or the account stores nothing in the endpoint's region yet.
AccessDenied	403	The access key is scoped to buckets that do not include this one, or the account is not active.
InvalidAccessKeyId	403	The access key does not exist, has expired or been revoked - or it was created moments ago and is not usable yet in a region where the account already stores data, in which case the same request works shortly afterwards.
SignatureDoesNotMatch	403	The request signature does not match.
RequestTimeTooSkewed	403	The request time is more than 15 minutes from the server's.
AuthorizationHeaderMalformed	400	The signature's credential scope names a region other than the endpoint's.
NotImplemented	501	The request carries a query parameter this operation does not accept.
SlowDown	503	Too many requests. The Retry-After header says when a retry is welcome; the AWS SDKs retry on their own.
ServiceUnavailable	503	A temporary failure; the same request can be retried.
InternalError	500	An unexpected failure while checking the bucket; the same request can be retried.

Differences from Amazon S3

The table lists each place where STRG behaves differently, and what that means for a client.

Aspect	Amazon S3	STRG
Transfer acceleration	Configurable per bucket; Status is Enabled or Suspended once set	Not part of STRG. The answer is always the empty, never-configured document
Setting it	PutBucketAccelerateConfiguration	Answered with 501 NotImplemented
Bucket in another region	301 redirect with x-amz-bucket-region	404 NoSuchBucket. A bucket is reached through its own regional endpoint.
x-amz-expected-bucket-owner	Checked against the bucket owner	Welcome, with nothing to check

Examples

Reading the acceleration state of my-bucket in eu-central-1:

AWS CLI

aws s3api get-bucket-accelerate-configuration \
  --bucket my-bucket \
  --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-1.strg.com \
  --region eu-central-1

The command succeeds and prints nothing, because the answer has no Status.

Python (boto3)

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client(
    "s3",
    endpoint_url="https://s3.eu-central-1.strg.com",
    region_name="eu-central-1",
)

response = s3.get_bucket_accelerate_configuration(Bucket="my-bucket")
print(response.get("Status", "not configured"))

JavaScript (AWS SDK v3)

import { GetBucketAccelerateConfigurationCommand, S3Client } from "@aws-sdk/client-s3";

const client = new S3Client({
  endpoint: "https://s3.eu-central-1.strg.com",
  region: "eu-central-1",
});

const response = await client.send(
  new GetBucketAccelerateConfigurationCommand({ Bucket: "my-bucket" }),
);
console.log(response.Status ?? "not configured");
