open-uri-s3

Usage:

require 'open-uri-s3'

Reading objects:

open('s3://my.bucket/public/hello') # returns AWS::S3::S3Object (quacks like IO)

or a safer option (see this post on the dangers of using open-uri with user input)

URI('s3://my.bucket/public/hello').read

Writing objects:

open('s3://my.bucket/public/hello', 'w'){|f| f.write 'Hello world!'}

Using a different (non-aws) backend

In order to use a different s3 compatible backend, you can use the following ENV variables

ENV['AWS_USE_SSL'] = 'false'
ENV['AWS_S3_ENDPOINT'] = 'http://my-s3-alternative'

Contributing to open-uri-s3

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
  • Fork the project.
  • Start a feature/bugfix branch.
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
