IMDSv2 meta-data query on EC2 returns 200 status but no data.

Question

Hi, When I run: ```sh TOKEN=`curl -X PUT "http://169.254.169.254/latest/api/token" -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token-ttl-seconds: 21600"` curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" -v http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id ``` I get response: ```sh * Trying 169.254.169.254:80... * Connected to 169.254.169.254 (169.254.169.254) port 80 (#0) > GET /latest/meta-data/instance-id HTTP/1.1 > Host: 169.254.169.254 > User-Agent: curl/8.0.1 > Accept: */* > X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: ASDFSDF23424== > * HTTP 1.0, assume close after body < HTTP/1.0 200 OK < Accept-Ranges: bytes < Content-Length: 19 < Content-Type: text/plain < Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2023 10:16:15 GMT < Last-Modified: Sat, 17 Jun 2023 10:04:23 GMT < X-Aws-Ec2-Metadata-Token-Ttl-Seconds: 21588 < Connection: close < Server: EC2ws ``` I am connected to my instance with SSH. My instance security group allows SSH and ICMP only. I enabled metadata and V2 only. Does anyone know why I'm getting this response and no attribute value? Thanks,

Hi Neohed, 
Try running below command, i see there is a good possibility you might miss the instance-id as it gets printed immediately before shell prompt.

curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id && echo ""

Hi,
The GET Api call represented in 3rd line of response is "> GET /latest/meta-data/**instance-id** HTTP/1.1" and i suspect that the URI is incorrect. Maybe you did a typo with your actual execution. If you had executed "curl -H "X-aws-ec2-metadata-token: $TOKEN" -v http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/" as the command the API call should be made as "> GET /latest/meta-data/ HTTP/1.1".

@Abhishek Thanks for replying. I have tried these commands again and taken a screenshot:
