Batch load from S3 - fatal error: An error occurred (403) when calling the HeadObject operation: Forbidden

Apologies if I am not explaining this correctly as I am new to AWS. I have a file in an S3 bucket that has brackets in the name. We are using S3, Lambda and Batch to transfer the data over to a SQL database.



If I manually set Batch to load the file, it works okay. If I set up Lambda to see the file when it drops into S3 then it seems to see the file with % signs instead of the brackets. If I amend the upload handler to accept % in the name, then the batch file fails with:



fatal error: An error occurred (403) when calling the HeadObject operation: Forbidden



As I know we can connect okay to the S3 bucket, I am assuming this is not permissions but may be the fact that the name that Lambda sees does not actually exist (i.e. TestLoad_(file1).csv comes across as TestLoad_%28file1%29.csv).



Has anyone come across this and how would I fix it (other than manually rename the file every time it drops into S3).

  • S3 event notifications contain the object key in S3's somewhat strange internal representation -- essentially query-string encoded, presumably an artifact of a very old and unfortunate design decision that it's too late to fix without breaking different things. You have to decode it before using it, including using it to do other things with S3. Check stackoverflow.com/a/39465221/1695906
