module AWS module S3 # All authentication is taken care of for you by the AWS::S3 library. None the less, some details of the two types # of authentication and when they are used may be of interest to some. # # === Header based authentication # # Header based authentication is achieved by setting a special Authorization header whose value # is formatted like so: # # "AWS #{access_key_id}:#{encoded_canonical}" # # The access_key_id is the public key that is assigned by Amazon for a given account which you use when # establishing your initial connection. The encoded_canonical is computed according to rules layed out # by Amazon which we will describe presently. # # ==== Generating the encoded canonical string # # The "canonical string", generated by the CanonicalString class, is computed by collecting the current request method, # a set of significant headers of the current request, and the current request path into a string. # That canonical string is then encrypted with the secret_access_key assigned by Amazon. The resulting encrypted canonical # string is then base 64 encoded. # # === Query string based authentication # # When accessing a restricted object from the browser, you can authenticate via the query string, by setting the following parameters: # # "AWSAccessKeyId=#{access_key_id}&Expires=#{expires}&Signature=#{encoded_canonical}" # # The QueryString class is responsible for generating the appropriate parameters for authentication via the # query string. # # The access_key_id and encoded_canonical are the same as described in the Header based authentication section. # The expires value dictates for how long the current url is valid (by default, it will expire in 5 minutes). Expiration can be specified # either by an absolute time (expressed in seconds since the epoch), or in relative time (in number of seconds from now). # Details of how to customize the expiration of the url are provided in the documentation for the QueryString class. # # All requests made by this library use header authentication. When a query string authenticated url is needed, # the S3Object#url method will include the appropriate query string parameters. # # === Full authentication specification # # The full specification of the authentication protocol can be found at # http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/2006-03-01/RESTAuthentication.html class Authentication constant :AMAZON_HEADER_PREFIX, 'x-amz-' # Signature is the abstract super class for the Header and QueryString authentication methods. It does the job # of computing the canonical_string using the CanonicalString class as well as encoding the canonical string.
