I'm Looking at using Amazon S3 and simpleDB in a desktop application. The main issue I have is that I either need to store my aws credentials in the application or use some other scheme. I'm guessing that storing them in the application is out of the question as they would be easily picked out. Another option is to create a web serv...
I have a web app that sends messages to an Amazon SQS Queue. Amazon sqs lib throws a 'AmazonSQSException' since the message contained invalid binary character. The message is the referrer obtained from an incoming http request. This is what it looks like: http://ads.vrx.adbrite.com/adserver/display_iab_ads.php?sid=1220459&title_c...
The Amazon Product Advertising API (formerly Amazon Associates Web Service or Amazon AWS) has implemented a new rule which is by August 15th 2009 all web service requests to them must be signed. They have provided sample code on their site showing how to do this in C# using both REST and SOAP. The implementation that I’m using is SOAP. Y...
We are looking for a secure online solution to access our files stored on Amazon S3. We have about 3K files, mostly media and documents, that we need to make available to our employees on the move. We don't want to develop anything in-house if there is an existing solution. Please note that our employees are not technologically minded ...
I need a Win client for Amazon S3 that utilizes SOAP protocol for all transactions. As far as I see most solutions are REST based rather than SOAP. Any ideas? EDIT: Just want to clarify: please do not suggest using REST instead. I am perfectly aware of what can or cannot be done with either protocol. So if I ask for this specific solu...
I took a look through the API documentation and since the ItemSearch operation requires the Keywords parameter, I do not think it will be possible but I just want to confirm. Should I be looking at a different operation? Any information would be greatly appreciated. ...

I'm running Debian Linux, and for a Lua script I need to create a SHA256 checksum to authenticate requests to Amazon Web Services. They don't say for sure but it looks as if they may want a base64 encoding of the resulting SHA256 checksum. I'd be happy if someone had done a Lua binding. I'd be content if someone could help me figure o...
Does Amazon provide a way to copy a bucket from one account to a different account? I am uploading several gb of files to my own bucket for a client app for development purposes, but when handing off the code I'm going to want to switch the bucket to their account (so I am no longer paying for the storage). Uploading is taking quite awh...
I have to send many web service calls out to delete a bunch of records in Amazon SDB (unfortunately, rows can only be deleted one at at time currently). I am using Amazon's SDB c# library which does not use async WebRequests. Currently I use ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem to queue up a bunch of calls (I configured my connectionManagement...
I've used AWS and various forms of Linux over the past few years, but am wondering if anyone has any experience using Canonical's AWS Ubuntu images and can compare them to Hammond's. Hammond's images are very well put together, with a deep understanding of AWS optimizations and such, but Canonical has more intimate knowledge of their di...
I'm trying to access my Amazon S3 account using the aws-s3 gem, but no matter what I do, I can't even print a bucket list.

Hi I am using AWS EC2 to create a back end for my website. I already have an AWS account and EC2 subscription. I am familiar with LAMP and so am creating a database and some scripts locally using XAMPP. Now I want to know how I can port these to my AWS server. How do I upload script files to the server and how do I port the MySQL datab...
Is there a good library/gem for accessing Amazon SQS from ruby1.9? The Amazon ruby example and right_aws do not work as-is with ruby1.9. I'd strongly prefer something that's known to work under reasonably heavy load (a few hundred thousand queue items or more per day). ...
Hi Looking to host multiple static web sites by pointing DNS to an Elastic Load Balancer and serving the content via Cloudfront. Is this a plausible approach? Are there any gotchas we should look out for. How should we configure DNS for each site? Appreciate any thoughts on this Dom ...
Hi Anonymous Users can browse to our public distributions or s3 folders and view a list (xml) of all files. We have set read permissions.

I have 3 questions related to Amazon CloudFront. How do I upload images? Can I use FTP? Does Amazon allow me to rsynch a local directory to CloudFront so that I have a replica directory and hierarchy on CloudFront? Thanks in advance ...
That's my whole question! Doing something like this: Amazon::Ecs.item_lookup('9781934356166', :response_group => 'ItemAttributes,Images') Not sure where to change the option for the IdType to ISBN. I've tried putting it several places. Thanks! ...
I just started using the AWS S3 and CloudFront. What proper client tools are out there that I can use to manage my account? Like uploading files etc. Yes I am a developer, but, I am pressed for time, I just want to deploy my apps. I came across this one S3 Browser. It's almost what I am looking for. EDIT ~ Is it possible to map a bucke...
