# 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

# 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. The subclasses
# parameterize these computations and arrange them in a string form appropriate to how they are used, in one case a http request
# header value, and in the other case key/value query string parameter pairs.
