X-Amz-Date
Authentication de facto — unregistered request 2 spellings
A reference entry. The registry facts and catalog measurements below are complete; the written guidance for this header has not been authored yet.
X-Amz-Date is authentication — Headers that carry who the caller is — credentials, tokens, keys, signatures of identity. The most declared category in the catalog and the most inconsistently spelled.
The registry
Not registered with IANA. It is a de facto or vendor field — real, widely used, and governed by nothing but convention.
In the catalog
Declared by 98 providers across 3,447 published specification files in the API Evangelist catalog, where it appears as a request header — sent by the client.
It is spelled 2 different ways across those contracts — X-Amz-Date, x-amz-date. HTTP field names are case-insensitive (RFC 9110, §5.1), so every one of these is the same header. They are not the same string, which is why generated clients disagree about it.
