I've never used s3, but this sounded so patently absurd that i just
typed "amazon s3 cache-control" in my location bar and this was the i feel
lucky page i got back...

...which says the it's definitely possible to control the Cache-Control
header used by s3 by specifying it when you create the files.

further searches for "s3 set cache-control" return all sorts of examples
of doing it in multiple tools, and using the various APIs, and indicate
that it's completley possible to set the value for files already in s3...

Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing
with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y"
without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the
full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all?
