The purpose of this document is to provide an alternate to GitHub issues for tracking feature requests. This eliminates noise when viewing issues. Items ending up on this page are not guaranteed to make it into the SDK. Items on this page are not sorted by priority.
Please feel free to submit feature requests and add comments or suggestions on existing feature requests. If you are interested in contributing code, please open a dialog with us first. Ideally we can avoid wasted dev cycles by discussing alternatives up front.
We can be found in our Gitter channel and on the AWS Forum for Ruby.
To work around limitations of S3 bucket policies, it is necessary to send certain headers as headers and to not hoist them to querystring of a request URI. This would be useful functionality in general.
See related GitHub issue #874.
More services have interfaces like Amazon Elasticsearch Service where it would be useful to use the signature version 4 interface directly. It is currently marked API private. It should be extracted, polished and released as a separate gem.
See related GitHub issue #961.
The SDK ignores environment proxies by default for security reasons. Add the ability to configure a proxy or to enable the default proxy from the constructor.
See related GitHub issue #956.
The default credential provider chain will check for credentials from the EC2 instance metadata service once before giving up. This is intentional to prevent development environments from hanging for an extended period of time when not running on Amazon EC2.
Defaulting to no retries is problematic for code running on Amazon EC2, especially in a situation where the code is executing early in the boot process and the credentials are not immediately available. This forces developers to create a custom Aws::InstanceProfileCredentials object to configure retires, complicating configuration for development environments.
Adding a retry limit for instance profile credentials might be a possible solution.
See related GitHub issue #717.
Add the ability to programmatically determine what region a specific service is available in. Some useful interfaces include:
- pass the service name; return a list of supported regions
- pass a region; return a list of supported services.
- pass service_name and region; return true/false if region supports that service
This feature would be an interface for the information provided here http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ct_region
See related GitHub issue #926.
Amazon CloudFront supports pre-signed URLs, similar to those used by Amazon S3. It would be helpful to have a pre-signed url builder for SDK users.
See related GitHub issue #700.
To enable users to track file upload process, it would be helpful to support a progress callback for Aws::S3::Object#upload_file.
See related GitHub issue #648.
The #predict operation of Aws::MachineLearning::Client accepts a map of string-to-strings. When a user wishes to provide a boolean value, the API expects the boolean to be "1" or "0". It would be helpful if a plugin were added that converted the boolean values of the record map from true and false to their expected string formats.
See related GitHub issue #878.
You can currently only configure an access key id, secret access key, and session token in the shared credentials file, ~/.aws/credentials. It would be useful if you could also specify a role to assume similar to how the CLI supports.
