Does Amazon S3 support HTTP request with basic authentication

Question

I would like to set up an Amazon S3 account, create a bucket, upload some data, and that this data will be available using HTTP GET with basic authentication.

I know that there are several ways to get the S3 data authenticated (query string and such), but I would like to be able to provide a simple username/password scheme for authentication.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

No this is not possible. You have to conform to Amazons Authentication API
