S3 Presigned URL Issue - file upload successful, 200 statusCode but no response body

Question

This was working up until recently, I am not sure what has changed. I am generating a presignedUrl using S3 SDK and uploading a file to a bucket using it. The file actually uploads and the response returns a statusCode of 200 but weirdly there no response body.

I cannot understand if I'm missing some sort of header, or if they're wrong. The Content-length on the response headers worries me.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Note: I've obscured the values, if they are helpful I can mock them back in

Presigning service (NodeJS, Lambda)

... 
const params = {
    Bucket: 'some-bucket',
    Key: 'some/path/file/picture',
    Expires: 60 * 5,
    ACL: 'public-read'
};

s3.getSignedUrl('putObject', params, (err, url) => {
    ...
    callback(null, new Response(200, {url});
});
...

S3 service (TS, Angular)

public putObject(presignedUrl: string, file: File): Observable<any> {
  return this.http.put<any>(presignedUrl, file);
}

Component

this.s3Service.putObject(presignedUrl, file)
  .subscribe(
    (response) => {
      // it gets here as expected
      // but response is null!
    },
    () => {}
  );

I reproduced it using go SDK to confirm it is how API itself behaves, not something specific from nodejs.

As I can see from my experimentation it is a normal behavior now, it will not return anything from PUT request.

OBS: I masked some sensitive values!

The Code:

package main

import (
    "crypto/tls"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "net/url"
    "strings"
    "time"

    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/s3"
)

func main() {
    sess, err := session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
        Region: aws.String("eu-west-1")},
    )

    svc := s3.New(sess)

    req1, _ := svc.PutObjectRequest(&s3.PutObjectInput{
        Bucket: aws.String("bucketversioningenabled"),
        Key:    aws.String("myKey"),
        Body:   strings.NewReader("EXPECTED CONTENTS"),
    })

    presignURL, err := req1.Presign(time.Minute * 1)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("Error on presign", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("Presign: ", presignURL, err)
    fmt.Println("")

    req2, err := http.NewRequest("PUT", presignURL, strings.NewReader("EXPECTED CONTENTS"))
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("error creating request", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("NewRequest: ", req2, err)
    fmt.Println("")

    proxyURL, err := url.Parse("http://myfiddler.proxy.com:8888")
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("Error on proxy parse", err)
        return
    }

    tr := &http.Transport{
        TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{
            InsecureSkipVerify: true,
        },
        Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyURL),
    }
    client := &http.Client{
        Transport: tr,
        Timeout:   time.Duration(5 * time.Second),
    }

    resp, err := client.Do(req2)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println("error on request put", err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("Do: ", resp, err)
}

The execution output:

Please look the Content-Length:[0] on the last line.
