Upload to s3 with curl using pre-signed URL (getting 403)

Question

I\'m using curl to call into a Java ReST API to retrieve a URL. Java then generates a pre-signed URL for S3 upload using my S3 credentials, and returns that in the ReST reply. C

Answer 1

The way to generate the URL:

private static URL generateRUL(String objectKey, String ACCESS_KEY, String SECRET_KEY, String BUCKET_NAME) {
    AmazonS3 s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(new BasicAWSCredentials(ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY));
    URL url = null;

    try {
        GeneratePresignedUrlRequest request  = new GeneratePresignedUrlRequest(BUCKET_NAME, objectKey);
        request.setMethod(com.amazonaws.HttpMethod.PUT);
        request.setExpiration(new Date( System.currentTimeMillis() + (60 * 60 * 1000)));

        // Very important ! It won't work without adding this! 
        // And request.addRequestParameter("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream") won't work neither
        request.setContentType("application/octet-stream");

        url = s3Client.generatePresignedUrl(request ); 
    } catch (AmazonServiceException exception) { 
    } catch (AmazonClientException ace) { }

    return url;
}

The way to upload the file:

public int upload(byte[] fileBytes, URL url) {
    HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    connection.setDoOutput(true);
    connection.setRequestMethod("PUT");
    connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream"); // Very important ! It won't work without adding this!
    OutputStream output = connection.getOutputStream();

    InputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileBytes);
    byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
    int length;
    while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
        output.write(buffer, 0, length);
    }
    output.flush();

    return connection.getResponseCode();
}
