GET Service

The GET Service request returns a list of all buckets owned by the authenticated user that sent the request.

The GET Service operation does not list buckets created by other users, nor does it list buckets for anonymous requests.

Sample request:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 10:16:53 GMT
Authorization: authorization string

Sample response:

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