What are the access and secret keys used for? about afamazons3manager

[mblackwell8]

i've been wondering the same thing... haven't worked through it properly yet, but the ASI S3 code (now deprecated, but seemed canonical in its time) shows how the keys should be handled:

S3 Authorization Keys are used to generate an HMAC checksum to set the authorization header. This feature is not currently implemented in AFAmazonS3Client, and this fact should be documented somewhere (or simply implemented).

I'll get this sorted out one way or another soon.

Add my name to the list of people who'd like to see this implemented.

I've done some draft about this feature in my fork. It works, but I'm not completely secure about it, so I didn't create a Pull Request yet.

Also, I have a limitation I don't know how to handle: it doesn't works under https with some buckets - as said here https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=338748.

Take a look at 616edac.

Is there anyone who has an example of how authentication could be done using the AFAmazonS3Client? Quite new to AFNetworking so any pointers in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks! Trond

Hey @trondkr! What about my fork? https://github.com/flipstudio/AFAmazonS3Client

EDIT: Check this 616edac out.
