S3 Integration Documentation out of date

[varblob]

I'm attempting to get S3 working and am struggling a bit. It looks like perhaps things have changed.

Here is what I have for signing at the moment still getting 403 forbidden when uploading, but that could be something else.

bucket_name = "bucket_name"
bucket = Aws::S3::Resource.new(region: 'region').bucket(bucket_name)
@s3_direct_post = bucket.presigned_post(
  key: "path to where you want to put it/${filename}", #${filename} is amazon magic
  success_action_status: "201",
  acl: "public-read",
  expires: 1.hours.from_now
)
# bucket name appears to be needed by the client in composing the url
render json: @s3_direct_post.fields.merge(bucket: bucket_name), status: :ok

Pulled this mostly from here https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/direct-to-s3-image-uploads-in-rails

You are getting a 401 from the sign?

[varblob]

Sorry 403 from attempting to upload.

[digitaltoad]

What is the body of the error?

[varblob]

Not very informative

<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access Denied</Message>
<RequestId>......</RequestId>
<HostId>........</HostId>
</Error>

Seems like it may be related to something like this. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=56531

Thanks for your help, I think I need to fix my policy file for the user. I'll let you know if it all works out.

[digitaltoad]

That being said. I don't think there is anything wrong with how you are currently generating the policy rather there is something wrong with the aws user's rights.

[varblob]

yup user needed to have his rights updated, success! I'm leaving this issue open since the original bit maybe of use to others. If I have time next week I'll try and make a pull request for the documentation.

[digitaltoad]

I may get to the documentation before that. I'm currently in the process of updating the outdated parts of the library including making the base library ember-cli compatible so the wrapper can be deprecated. Updating the docs around signing was on the list.

[varblob]

most awesome! thanks again for your help and for the lib. I renamed this issue to reference documentation.
