Get content Type from AWS S3 Image in Java

Question

I have an image stored in AWS S3 Bucket

URL url = new URL(urlString);
        URI dataUri = null;
        if (null != url) {
            try (InputStream inStreamGuess = url.openStream();
                    InputStream inStreamConvert = url.openStream();
                    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
                String contentType = URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromStream(inStreamGuess);
                if (null != contentType) {
...
}

but content Type is null

Answer 1

To get the content type of an Object in an Amazon S3 bucket using Java, use the AWS SDK for Java V2.

https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/services/s3/S3Client.html#headObject-

Use the headObject method that returns a HeadObjectResponse object. Then invoke: https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/services/s3/model/HeadObjectResponse.html#contentType-- method.

Java V2 example that works

import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.s3.S3Client;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.s3.model.*;
