Hi Robert,
By S3 backend, yes, I mean Oak using the S3SharedDataStore, which I believe in turn uses the class: org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.blob.cloud.aws.s3.S3Backend.java which appears to encapsulate all of the AWS SDK calls. I am using a copy of the Sling 9 launchpad to create my instance, and have modified the oak_s3.txt provisioning file as follows. Does this provide you with the information that you need? [feature name=oak_s3] [variables] oak.version=1.5.7 [artifacts startLevel=5] joda-time/joda-time/2.9.4 [artifacts startLevel=15] com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core/2.8.2 com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-databind/2.8.2 com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-annotations/2.8.2 org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jaxp-ri/1.4.5_1 com.amazonaws/aws-java-sdk-osgi/1.10.27 org.apache.jackrabbit/oak-blob-cloud/${oak.version} ________________________________ From: Robert Munteanu <romb...@apache.org> Sent: Thursday, October 6, 2016 2:01:21 PM To: users@sling.apache.org Subject: Re: Retrieving content length for file node without retrieving object from S3 backend?

It would also help if we knew the version of Oak you're suing. Thanks, Robert
