Question

I’m just wondering if this is a bug, an error on my part or has anyone managed to get this working

>irb
>require 'aws/s3'
>AWS::S3::Base.establish_connection!( 
    :access_key_id    => key,
    :secret_access_key => secret)

>AWS::S3::S3Object.url_for(
   filename, 
   bucket, 
   :use_ssl => true,
   :response_content_type=>'text/plain',
   :response-content-disposition=>'attachment; filename=text.txt'
)

This will spit out a signed url

I can get a URL out of this but the :response_content_type & :response-content-disposition options don’t seem to do anything at all.

These are documented at
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSRubySDK/latest/AWS/S3/S3Object.html#url_for-instance_method

Does anyone have luck with adding these per request headers? Or am I doing it wrong?

EDIT I figured it out: If anyone runs into the same – require the right gem not ‘aws/s3’ its ‘aws-sdk’ (there are two floating around out there with pretty much the same code – I think the latter is an old version)

Answer 1

aws-s3 is an old version of aws-sdk. Lots of code between them just works even if you swap the require header. Use aws-sdk to fix this problem.
