S3DirectUpload

with Authentication via Ex AWS

Pre-signed S3 upload helper for client-side multipart POSTs in Elixir.

Browser-Based Upload using HTTP POST (Using AWS Signature Version 4)

Task 3: Calculate the Signature for AWS Signature Version 4

Motivation

This is a fork and re-work of the original by @akappen, with a change to how the AWS Access ID and AWS Secret Key are identified. The original required them provided in config, which precluded the use of Instance Role, which contain temporary credentials. This fork attempts to use Ex AWS way of config and authentication, which would permit the use of instance Roles.

Installation

S3DirectUpload can be installed by adding s3_direct_upload to your list of dependencies in mix.exs and then running mix deps.get:

def deps do
  [{:ex_aws_s3_direct_upload, "~> 1.0.1"}]
end

See https://github.com/ex-aws/ex_aws#aws-key-configuration for details of custom configurations. The default configuration should suffice.
