Make Authenticated AWS Rest API Requests

Primary LanguageLua

Name

lua-resty-aws - Make Authenticated AWS Rest API Requests.

This library is meant to be a fast connection to the services that might be called repeatedly from a webserver, if you're looking for a full sdk, I recommend boto.

Status

This library is still under early development and considered experimental.

Description

This Lua library handles communicating with the amazon REST api endpoints. With it you can make signed requests to the Amazon APIs much more easily.

Synopsis

Modules

Each module contains a new function that initializes it.

All of the commands return either something that evaluates to true on success, or nil and an error message on failure.

new

syntax: module, err = module:new(id, key, region)

Creates an uploading object. In case of failures, returns nil and a string describing the error.

Installation

You can install it with luarocks luarocks install lua-resty-aws

Otherwise you need to configure the lua_package_path directive to add the path of your lua-resty-aws source to ngx_lua's LUA_PATH search path, as in

    # nginx.conf
    http {
        lua_package_path "/path/to/lua-resty-aws/lib/?.lua;;";
        ...
    }

This package also requires the lua-resty-http package to be installed (https://github.com/pintsized/lua-resty-http)

Ensure that the system account running your Nginx ''worker'' proceses have enough permission to read the .lua file.
