Checking for object existence

Palladinium opened this issue · 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is currently no way to check whether an object exists in a bucket.
The README has a link to an exists function, but the method doesn't actually exist:

| `exists` | [async](https://docs.rs/rust-s3/latest/s3/bucket/struct.Bucket.html#method.exists)|

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding an exists method to the Bucket API.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried using get_object or head_object and checking for the error variant, but I have no idea which S3Error variant is returned when the object doesn't exist vs when anything else goes wrong with fetching the object's data.

It looks like the error value returned when an object doesn't exist is S3Error::Http(404, _).
It'd still be nice to get this as its own feature.
Note that without the ListBucket permission, you will always get a 403 instead, and you tell whether an object doesn't exist or you just can't access it - this is by design in S3's API.

I second this

I cannot even see a way to get the StatusCode because we lose it in the InvalidStatusCode error creation.
