I guess I know.
when I input the key, I input key like this
"Key": "Root/PVPReward.xml"
I should remove the Root/, and it works again
Yes, the Key does contain the path to the content, but there's no "Root/" as part of that by default. One question, though - do you mean you were using "Root/" in the GetContentDownloadUrl call, and it was returning a URL?
We've been able to get URLs for files that don't exist too (using the server api to check file status on a file update). I'd expect that the behaviour would be to return a failure, not a URL that doesn't work.
Correct - the file request is formed based upon the inputs, which can refer to a Key that doesn't actaully exist in the S3 bucket that CloudFront points to. While I agree that it would be convenient for the GetContentDownloadUrl call to check for the existence of the Key, that would be a breaking change from the current behavior. Granted, it's possible that we wouldn't impact anyone, but we have a hard commitment to no breaking changes. If we update to a new model for Content in future, we can look at adding this check. For now, the way to check would be the error on the file download.
