Answer

  • When a DELETE Object request is made for a non-existent object, the HTTP response code returned is a 200-series status code, typically 204 No Content.
  • This behavior differs from the HEAD or GET requests, which return a 404 Not Found status code when the object does not exist.
  • This behavior is consistent with the AWS S3 API documentation, which specifies that a DELETE request for a non-existent object will still return a success status code.
