Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - ExpiredRequest Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/9525fb5b8ab78c58bd5e941dea9fd75a366b6eac/src/content/docs/r2/api/s3/presigned-urls.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Restricting Content-Type: signature includes the header; uploads fail with 403/SignatureDoesNotMatch if a different Content-Type is sent; tampering with X-Amz-* params also yields SignatureDoesNotMatch. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/9525fb5b8ab78c58bd5e941dea9fd75a366b6eac/src/content/docs/r2/api/error-codes.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Error codes: 10035 SignatureDoesNotMatch (verify secret/signing, URL encoding), 10018 ExpiredRequest (presigned URL expired).
