## Japan Exchange Group (JPX) listed-company list — static file, S3-backed, refreshed daily

The JPX English statistics page (`/english/markets/statistics-equities/misc/01.html`) links directly
to:
```
GET https://www.jpx.co.jp/english/markets/statistics-equities/misc/tvdivq0000001vg2-att/data_e.xlsx
```
→ HTTP 200, `Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet`,
263,525 bytes, `Server: AmazonS3` (fronted by CloudFront — `X-Amz-Cf-Pop`, `X-Amz-Cf-Id` present),
`Last-Modified: 2026-10-05T00:00:30Z` (today — this file is regenerated daily) and
`x-amz-version-id` present (the object is versioned in the underlying bucket). No `Authorization`,
no cookie, and removing the User-Agent header entirely gives the byte-identical 263,525-byte file.

This is a **different hosting tier** from the HTML page that links to it: guessing the file at the
more obvious `.xls` extension instead of the real `.xlsx` one returns HTTP 404 — but it's JPX's own
site 404 (`text/html`, 20,473 bytes, the site's branded error page), not an S3 "NoSuchKey" XML error.
The static-file data layer and the CMS-served HTML layer are two separate backends with two
completely different error shapes, and only direct, correctly-spelled file paths reach the S3 tier at
all.

A `HEAD` request to the same URL confirms the full S3/CloudFront header set without downloading the
file: `x-amz-id-2`, `x-amz-request-id`, `x-amz-server-side-encryption: AES256`,
`Accept-Ranges: bytes` (range requests are supported — a client could fetch just a byte range of this
spreadsheet rather than the whole 263 KB), and `X-Amz-Cf-Pop: NRT12-P5` (the specific Tokyo CloudFront
edge POP that served it). None of these headers appear on the HTML 404 from the CMS tier, so the
presence or absence of `x-amz-*` headers alone is a reliable way to tell which backend answered a given
JPX URL without parsing the body at all.

How observed: 2026-10-05 ~07:37Z, curl 8.x, with and without a User-Agent header, plus a `HEAD`
request, from this machine.

History

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
