Livcode and AWS S3 (Windows)

[J. Landman Gay]

I'm not sure I can help much with that. In my project, the AWS server 
has a cron job that creates signed URLs for each file every hour 
(because our URLs have an expiration time) and puts them into a text 
file. My app retrieves that file, which is just a return-delimited list 
of URLs, and when it needs to download one it just uses "get URL 
<signedURL>" and it works.

All uploads are done by the administrator via the web interface. LC 
isn't involved with that.

If I remember right, signed URLs aren't strictly required; we're using 
them for security purposes but I believe you can just treat the 
server/buckets like any other web server. I'm afraid I don't know how to 
get a list of files; a Rails script collects those for our project.

There's an awful lot of documentation on Amazon, though it's confusing. 
It took our Rails person some time to understand it all, and I took the 
lazy way out and just let her do it, since most of it applied to the 
server end of things. Then we worked together to figure out how to sign 
the URLs in both languages.
