Bug #45261 for Net-Amazon-S3: Hardcoded s3 Server Name

Subject:

Hardcoded s3 Server Name

Hi there: This issue is forwarded from the Debian bug tracking system, because I think it would be more appropriate to be fixed upstream. The bug report, from Joey Hess, was as follows: "s3.amazonaws.com is hardcoded throughout the code. If this were moved to a single, configurable variable, then it would be possible to use this library to talk to a s3 compatible server such as walrus (http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/wiki/EucalyptusStorage_v1.4)" Some suggested fixes could be using an environment variable to control this sort of thing, although the most appropriate would probably be having some key in your option hash. Incidentally, it may also be useful to have the User Agent object (from LWP) passable as a parameter, so that things like proxies or different LWP UserAgent subclasses can be used. Hope this helps. If you don't consider this to be a bug, then we can fix it downstream in Debian, but we want to keep distributions as patch-free as possible. Thanks in advance, and thanks for providing a useful module to the community. Cheers, Jonathan

I can't develop this without testing and it is somewhat non-trivial to install Eucalptus. There seem to be a bunch of changes that have to be made, looks like we'll have to disable DNS buckets amongst other things: http://www.jamesmurty.com/2009/04/30/how-to-use-jets3t-with-eucalyptus/ I'm very willing to accept patches. Alternatively, if you could set me up an account on a public Eucalptus instance then I would work on it. Regards, Leon

Leon, I never successfully applied for a Eucalyptus account either. My signup to the Eucalyptus Public Cloud sandbox never seemed to go anywhere. However, I just learned that archive.org has a s3 compatible server as well. It can be used by anyone who signs up for an archive.org account, which can be done easily. http://www.archive.org/help/abouts3.txt Also, the current rumor is that Google is launching a S3 competator, and it seems likely it will offer a compatable API to S3. I'd be happy with a dehardcoded hostname so I could use the perl libraries against anything. If a feaure is not supported (like archive.org doesn't support DELETE :) I'd be happy if attempt to use it failed. No need to special-case things.
