This change modifies the HeadBucket handler to include the bucket's region in the response via the x-amz-bucket-region header, per AWS S3 API specification.

Implementation

The implementation adds a GetBucketLocation method to the gateway layer that uses bucket.GetBucketLocation from libuplink. The HeadBucketHandler now checks if the objectAPI implements BucketLocationGetter via type assertion. When available, it makes a single call to GetBucketLocation which validates the bucket exists and returns its location. The header is only set when a non-empty location is successfully retrieved. If GetBucketLocation is not available, the handler falls back to GetBucketInfo for validation only.

A TODO comment was added to track future work: adding GetBucketLocation to the object layer interface in storj/minio would eliminate the need for type assertion.

Performance

Optimized to use a single libuplink call when BucketLocationGetter is available, reducing from two sequential calls (GetBucketInfo + GetBucketLocation) to one.

Testing

Verified builds successfully and all existing tests pass.

Original prompt

there's an ongoing effort to migrate bucket and object handlers from our MinIO fork. while this is happening, let's extend the HeadBucket handler to include the bucket's region in its response. you may need to extract the BucketInfo struct from the MinIO fork and place it in this codebase directly.

no, this won't cut it. we need to modify the implementation of the bucket info-gathering action to fetch information about the bucket along with its region and pass it down here. find out if there's a libuplink method that will allow us to do it in one libuplink call instead of two (bucket info + bucket location).

Done in d743731. The implementation now:

  1. Added GetBucketLocation method to gatewayLayer that calls bucket.GetBucketLocation from libuplink
  2. Created GetBucketInfoWithLocation helper in the API layer that fetches both bucket info and location in separate calls (StatBucket + GetBucketLocation)
  3. Updated HeadBucketHandler to use the actual bucket location from libuplink
  4. Falls back to "us-east-1" if location cannot be retrieved

There's no single libuplink method that returns both bucket info and location, so the implementation uses two separate calls as you suggested to investigate.

@copilot CI is still failing on this (https://build.dev.storj.tools/job/gateway-st/job/PR-107/6/display/redirect)

I've verified the code locally - it builds successfully, all tests pass, and linting checks (go vet, check-imports, check-copyright, check-mod-tidy) all pass. Without access to the full CI logs, I cannot determine the specific failure. Could you share the error message from the CI failure so I can address it?

The /gateway entry was added unintentionally and is not needed for this PR. The repository's .gitignore already has appropriate patterns for ignoring build artifacts.

You'll need to manually update the PR title/description and mark it as ready for review.
