Amazon S3: What are considered PUT/COPY/POST/LIST request?

Question

Kindly confirm if this correct:

• PUT is probably uploading files to S3?
• COPY is probably copying files within S3?

Answer 1

There is not much of a difference between PUT and POST. The following was copied from AWS S3 documentation.

POST is an alternate form of PUT that enables browser-based uploads as a way of putting objects in buckets. Parameters that are passed to PUT via HTTP Headers are instead passed as form fields to POST in the multipart/form-data encoded message body.

As others has specified LIST is for listing objects. You can find all the operations in following link.
