S3 Hook

Transparent (via XHook), Cross-domain (via XDomain), Client-side S3 Request Signing

All requests sent to s3.amazonaws.com are modified to include the correct Authorization header for the given credentials. s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com is also supported. To use other S3 endpoints or custom domains, see API for usage of the proxy function.

Disclaimer

As this library self signs its own requests, it requires the access key and the secret key. For this reason, it should only be used for internal applications where the keys are only provided to trusted users, or in cases where a key pair is provided by the user and never sent to the server. For additional security, a policy for the given key pair should be created to restrict access to a particular bucket and to a particular prefix.

Features

Example

//enable hook
s3hook.set("AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE","k3nL7gH3+PadhTEVn5EXAMPLE");

//choose your favourite XHR library, jQuery for example...
//then just use the AWS REST API...

//get bucket object list
$.get('https://s3.amazonaws.com/jpillora-usa/')

//put an object
$.ajax({type:'PUT', url:'https://s3.amazonaws.com/jpillora-usa/foo.txt', data:'hello world!' });

Tip: Set the x-amz-acl: public-read header to make an object public

API

s3hook.set(access, secret)

Enable S3 Hook with the provided credentials

s3hook.clear()

Disable S3 Hook and clear credentials

s3hook.xml2json

Default true

Convert all XML responses (*/xml) to JSON (application/json)

s3hook.proxy(url)

Add a new XDomain slave by providing a URL to a proxy.html file

S3 Hook is initialised with:

  • https://s3.amazonaws.com/jpillora-usa/xdomain/proxy.html
  • https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/jpillora-aus/xdomain/proxy.html

So, to add your own, create a https://MY-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com/MY/PATH/proxy.html:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<script src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/jpillora-usa/xdomain/0.6.min.js" master="*"></script>

Then add it:

s3hook.proxy("https://MY-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com/MY/PATH/proxy.html")

Now, cross-domain requests to https://MY-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com will work
